Finally, someone who understood what I was talking about.  There IS a BIG 
difference between 30 FPS and 60+ FPS!!  Especially when you are playing 
DUKEMATCH or Quake multi, and want lightning fast control and accuracy.  
You can argue that your view is clearer with SVGA, so you can see 
opponents at greater distances, which is true to some extent.  You might 
actually like this better if you tend to "CAMP" more than running 
patterns, which is more fun.  But 3D games are not the same at lower FPS.
By the way, I Love SVGA for games like WAR2, RED ALERT, and the like. 
It's just a personal preference.
