res it slows down the FPS no matter what CPU you have.  I currently run a 
P166 and a Cyrix P166+ for Quake and Duke respectively, both are very 
fast machines, and 25-30 frames per sec is cool, but not awesome.  Wait 
till we can run a game like QUAKE full screen without the FPS dropping 
below 60.  I'd like to see a system that can run DUKE3D in 800X600 at 60+ 
FPS.  Are there any?  the difference between a P166 and a P200 is very 
small.
