So basically, I wouldn't notice much of an improvement over my TNT 2
and should wait for better cards to come out?  I don't really need a
new card, just thought it would be nice to have so I could use my
video capture card, and also because I haven't even been able to
really adventure in Kunark because the textures in places like Burning
Woods and Frontier Mountains make it too dangerous to travel there
alone, and is only tolerable with the clipping plain almost all the
way down.  I can't stand the jerkiness of those zones and don't want
to run into a topugh mob and die because I couldn't see it with the
clipping plain down.  I'm running a 550 PIII box with 128 Mb of ram
