You know, I could have read your reply and actually thought about it intelligently, but you had to be superior and finished it out with a "think before you post" comment. Tell you what, I think I'll "think before I download your FAQs." Why is there such a speed increase with Magic Carpet 2? Becuase the programmers went in and worked on the game engine to speed it up. Don't pass the buck off onto the type of game. The programmers are responsible. Why did we go from Wolfenstein to Doom? The programmers. Why is Doom so fast? The programmers. Before Wolfenstein 3-d came out, nobody would have thought it possible to make such a game. And with your logic, they would have sat on their rumps and not tried to make Wolfenstein because "we can't make 3-d action games run fast." Well, wake up and smell the Quake, dude. Games get better and faster all the time. Programming is the key reason. Dean
