  Just what would "more stuff" be?  I hope it doesn't mean more textures, 
since that would slow things down for most other 3Dfx owners, who DON'T have 
Pure 3D boards.
  Well, it would still be faster than software mode, but I don't think it's 
best to design for cards that most people don't have.
