OK.  Yes, GLQuake is opengl.  And yes, 3Dfx is the best chipset (at the
moment) for running GLQuake.  But, there are other ports of Quake for other
cards, like VQuake for Verite based cards.  But still, it does not mean
that it is better.  In a few months, there will be a whole new slew of
cards out that can run GLQuake, but more than likely they are all based on
the 3Dfx chipset.  In fact, there are new cards in the works based on the
on the 3Dfx chipset that have more texture memory, 2 megs more to be exact,
resulting in...  Let me here it...  MORE POWER!!!!  Not only is there gonna
be more memory, but from what I understand, the mem chips will be faster.
