Yeah, I run mine at 320x200 - p-100 48/meg

what about a similar engine, but without filled in polygons?  Just pure lines? 
Would that help any?

Duke Nuken is GREAT for a story, and 1-person gameplay.  Quake isn't supposed 
to be.  It's a deathmatch game.  and OH baby, it's a LOT o' fun with 16 CRAZY 
people at once.

But I digress... I didn't mean to start a PC-quake discussion, I was just 
passing on my wacky idea.  :)
