My system:
Intel P200 non-MMX
32MB FastPage Ram
Diamond Stealth 2MB DRam
Cheap SB-16 Clone

My game runs fine with no problems at 320x200, but for some reason, when
I switch to any other full screen mode, Direct Draw seems to think that
it needs to run in a window. Same think happens with win-quake. But if I
run normal Quake with the -winmem 24 argument, I run at 1024x768 at a
virtually butter smooth framerate.

Yet another argument that DirectX sucks.
