Of course you do.  Just recently, a person from iD posted, saying that
the graphics were going to be VGA, and VGA only.  The extra storage space
needed for SVGA graphics was not acceptable.  I guess iD has also 
considered the speed decrease, and that their optimized 256-color VGA
routines will have to be rewritten to cope with 15/16/24 bit color... :-)
Also, making a 32K color game today would not pay, as very few actually
have such cards.

'I MOST DEFINITELY want' --- jeez... :-)
