Is it me or is anyone else less satisfied with MM's
graphics options.  640x480 max?.  I'm running it
on a p3-450/tnt2 ultra/64mg and there's still that
hiccup or 1/2 sec stall when I turn that corner.

I quess I was expecting to run it at 1600 like my
MCM.  Beautiful graphics and great game BTW.

Sounds like your TNT is holding you up. I'm running on a Monster2 3D with
12meg and I run at 1024x768 with no hiccups...

You can use higher rez's.  Theres a TNT-2 bug.  Go to www.tweak3d.com
for a fix.  Also this game really needs > 64 meg to run without that
hiccup.

I manually edited all the crappy 320x200 (and other low res's) to higher numbers
and it works find - provided you have an AGP card to back up these numbers.
I'm using a Viper770 AGP Ultra
