Why? What's the point, really? Anything more than 640X480 is pointless, 
anyway, at this point the game is already beautiful and anything higher is 
just gobbling up proccesor power. I suppose if you wasted money on an 
obsolete-in-a-second pentium you might feel a little better knowing you could 
run Duke at 800X600, but other than that who gives a crap? The game is great, 
even in 320X200. It's the GAME that makes the game great, not the graphics.
