I believe he was responding to the prior post in regard to the
speed and power of the DX2-66 with the 1 mb videocard. I personally
don't know how he could get a better framerate in Duke3d versus
Doom2. Doom2 runs almost too fast for my system, whereas duke3d only
gets around 30 framerate in vga, and less in svga modes.
