Quake III and SMP Performance.

[Floppyman]

Hey all

Well I finally got Quake III working with my TNT 2 Ultra in Windows 2000 (long story). When running Quake III in smp I don't see really an improvement in fps but it seems to me that visually it looks better running on dual processors. I'm running the Nvidia 3.76 drivers(only ones I got working so far....detonator 3 drivers crashed). I may try the The Detonator 2 drivers yet tonight to see if I get a performance increase. If I had a newer videocard dual cpu's may have have made a difference in fps but with this TNT2 Ultra....SMP does not seem to give an increase in fps. BTW I'm running dual PIII 600E's at 800. Comments? Suggestions?

Great Floppyman. I knew that you could do it

When I was running Win 2K using my TNT2 it was working fine with Q3

Well you know the funny thing is I spent over 1.5 hours on the phone with a Microsoft tech and he still couldn't figure out. I finally by chance landed at a site that told me to delete something out of the registry. Not being sure if it would help or make the problem worse I did it anyway. Reinstalled Quake III and voila everything worked like a charm. Now I just got to get a hold of Half-Life so I can play some Counterstrike!

Hi again Floppyman. Is Counter Strike a Add on for the regular Half Life ? Is it a free download ?

Thanks TireT.

Now, all I gotta do is get a copy of Half Life.
