I would've thought so myself... I got one for xmas, and find that NASCAR is 
choppy when all graphic details are turned on in SVGA mode. It's playable, but 
not ideal. This machine gets 71.4 on 3dbench. It's not an indictment of 
NASCAR, which I play more than any other game on the system, but 
I'm disappointed in not seeing a magnitude of improvement over my old DX2-66 
(playing NASCAR). Doom on the new system, OTOH, is now so smooth, there is no 
frame rate that would be meaningful, even if measurable. Just be careful of 
sweeping generalities...

Mike.
