Wait, theres a limit on tex size? I have a practice of loading everything to textures etc and Ive done 12 megapixels on my Radeon 4330 and GMA 4500MHD no problems at all (the gma was a little sluggish) but other than that no hitches... I would say 2048x2048 is pretty clean nowadays - most screens exceed at least one dimension of that 1024x1024 limit after all

Now, that is an elegant solution there jimmy - noted for prometheus
