Quake III Arena a resource pig?

[cputnam]

System: Gateway G6-400 - 400mz PII, Intel Tabor mobo, 128mb RAM, Matrox G400. 5.41 drivers.

Even set to "fastest" the game runs choppy. Is it me or does this game tax the max out of all resources?

It's you.

Or, more to the point, it's your system. You've probably got bad drivers for something else, or a resource conflict, or any of dozens of other things that could be going wrong. What have you already tried? Have you recently reinstalled?
