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. Agreed, 100%. I'll "Suffer" with the "Horrible" graphics of VGA :D Up until that time that computers can display SVGA consistantly at framerates greater than 30+fps. Hell, with my PRO I can't even get 20fps in 800x600 in Duke3d..... But I do get 30fps fullscreen at 640x400 in quake..(but again, I don't play at that rez) Brant
