If thats on Voodoo then you will know that it could look a whole lot 
better. Drop down to 640x480 on a Voodoo2 and it looks as blurry as hell 
now, even tho it was way ahead of anything when V1 first set the 
benchmarks at that level. 1024x768 goes some way to removing that 
blurriness, but it is still noticable. That is one of the reasons that 
TNT's are getting such good image quality reviews, they do not have the 
same problem and produce a much sharper image. Voodoo3 with it's lack of 
pass-thru cable may attempt to correct this, but, seeing as it is merely 
an 'evolution' of the current chipset, I am not building my hopes up too 
much.

Only because it's not practical to do so yet. Even V3 looks like it's not 
especially up to the job at that high, 1280x1024 will prolly be the next 
common resolution.
