16 and 32 bits polymost is very slow on my pc
but 8 bits polymost is perfect.
my videocard don't support openGL, is this the problem?
i have a 950 Amd duron with 384 ram, and a sis 315 onboard videocard
i think i should be able to run duke3d fine with this pc, but its very slow

If you don't have an OpenGL/DirectX compatible card: then the answer is YES!
Read this from the release notes file from JonoF's Documentation: If your computer does not have an OpenGL graphics card, Polymost in OpenGL mode will most likely use the default Windows OpenGL rasterising facility which does all rendering in software. This may be extremely slow. If your Windows installation doesn't have any form of OpenGL rendering ability, Polymost will probably crash.
Hope this answers your question.

I did some investigating (http://www.sis.com/products/graphics/315.htm) and apparently an SiS 315 GPU is capable of doing OpenGL, so maybe you need to try updating your video drivers. If that doesn't do anything, there may be a bug in my OpenGL initialisation code that's favouring the software device over the hardware one.
