Just as another comment... I have a Pentium 120 Zappa, 32MB RAM, and Hercules
Stingray 64 video card, outrageous VIDSPEED and PCBENCH 9.0 benchmark
scores.  Incredible performance.  Guess what. 1024x768 mode is still too slow.
(FYI the Hercules Stingray 64/Video is considered to be the #1 or #2 fastest
DOS video card around.  Windows performance is just plain "OK").

I play at 640x480, or 320x200 for those scenarios that are just loaded with
polygons (like the Jade Falcon Trials).  Mechwarrior rocks, but PCs are just
not fast enough to do MW2 in 1024x768.
