I have to agree.  I know someone who thinks its crazy having 64Mb.  But I 
bet they don't try to use Photoshop on some rather large graphics file 
and lets not even get started about 3D.

I had a look at a small program that demonstrates that only after 60 fps 
is there no difference.  At 60 fps a solid line moving across the screen 
looks very fluid as oppossed to seeing a 'trailing' effect.

Besides the Voodoo2 offers 800*600 resoln and gives CPUs a chance to flex 
their muscles.

I'm sure more demanding stuff besides quake2 WILL appear and then Voodoo2 
will really shine.
