I have a dual celeron (o/c to 550) system, with 128 megs of ram running windows 2000 professional. I have installed the latest G400 beta drivers for win2k, and quake 3. there is nothing else on the system. I have a diamond mx300 soundcard.
Problems are as follows:
* quake works about 1/4 the time; Sometimes the computer reboots, sometimes it hangs at the title screen
* When quake does work, it is slow! I have to turn smp on (r_smp 1 then vid_restart) in order for the mouse to behave properly, and i got a blazing 21.0 fps on demo001.dm3 with my dual 550's. I get about 42 fps in win98 with the same computer.
Any ideas? similar problems? Is the win2k driver the cause of the slowness and crashes?
thanks
