Hey  !
You burnt the following into my screen :

>: Quake will only be supported by 3dfx based cards when it is running under
>: direct3d.  Unless id changes their minds.  Also the max resolution is 800x600
>: by 16 bits, there is only 2 meg of frame buffer, and 2 meg of texture map
>: memory on the card.
What means "ONLY" 2 Megs of ... ???
How much does the 3DBlaster have ??? (4MB for everything I think!)

So try a 3D-Blaster, try a VooDoo and you'll kick your old card !
