Thanks for the feedback.

Wow... I need a new computer.  You guys are killing my scores.  My Intel 
P4 3Ghz and overclocked AGP ATI 3850 only get about 1926.8 fps.  I 
believe some of this is due to running under Windows XP, AGP and because 
the ATI drivers + card don't run OpenGL as efficiently as Nvidia.  I'd 
try this in Linux (Mint is my favorite right now) but I can't get my ATI 
card to work under Linux.
