I''ve always wondered why, when people told me that, so heres the reason:
Whilst a JPEG may look as good as a bitmap in whatever paint program you use, OpenGL does stuff to it (different texture filters, ect). JPEG''s are NOT the same quality as bitmaps, no matter what, they always look as perfect, until you apply certain effects to them (like OGL does) and then they look crappy. Go for the quality!!

sorry what(??) was I thinking of?? (No i''m not drunk

i believe its ok to use jpgs in most things but not as a text texture cause blowing up mistakes on the screen esp words (which are usually static) looks orrible :n} .
