Downloaded the Need for Speed demo and I'm pretty amazed.  
Magic Carpet crawled in SVGA.  System Shock crawled in SVGA.  I 
was worried that my P-90 was going to be lame for high 
resolution stuff.  I was wrong.  It's the programmers that make 
the difference, 'cause Need for Speed absolutely smokes in 
SVGA.  Super-smooth scrolling, no jerkiness, and I don't even 
have a totally bitchen graphics card.  Also, the physics of the 
game are quite nice.  One question though.  I have a 17" Mag 
monitor and some games jump to the right side of the screen 
while running.  Most don't, but a small number do.  Is this 
just me, or are others having similar problems?  And if so, 
does anybody know the fix for this?  Thanks.

Dean
