LOL, I guess you're right in a way =)

No need to go back to that blurry OGL image quality ;-)

I'd run it at 1600x1200 too if only my 19" CRT would give me more than
75Hz at that resolution. 36fps at that resolution is no problem, only
in monaco I get less than that at the back of the grid. Next time I
start throwing money at the general direction of my PC, it'll be for a
new monitor. But thanks for the suggestions.
