Well, like I said, there's the annoying thing about Direct3D
freezing when there's heavy disk activity, causing the mouse
to go into accelerated mode. I cannot begin to count the
number of times I've zoned, started running and turned, the
disk (SCSI) grinds to load data, and instead of turning 90
degrees I get whipped 180 and hit the zone again. I switch
back to Glide every now and then when I get frustrated with
this problem, but the framerate hit I take always makes me
switch back.

I'll probably just end up buying a TNT2 or a GeForce.
