When you use DDS files instead, those images are fed directly to your video card/RAM without compressing or changing them. The DDS files themselves do typically present some compression artifacts, but much less than EQ converting the TGA files for you. Also, with DDS files, what you see is what you get in game.

So... good call. Be sure to keep non-DDS versions of your images for editing, since DDS files can be quite lossy. Edit your originals then reconvert to DDS when making changes. At least that's my advice.
