High Quality/Sound On etc?

i think it's in the pak file but i stubled on it by accident.
the q2 file was demo1.dm2
so i added the 3 and viola'

i believe there is a demo1 and a demo2
if i remember correctly one of the 2 demos run a little slower than the other.
been so long though

as for other parameters m4carbine...

i only installed q3 to do some testing so everything else was default.
most of what i know about q3 has been learned playing q2 and wolf

Quake 3 is 1 of the few games that actually supports SMP, so it will be interesting to see the difference a dual cpu can make to it.

PC is currently running at 2200 at the moment though, as running it at that speed i can make it virtually silent

and i get annoying cold boot problems running over 138mhz fsb ;( (Known issue on the TH7-II :()

just type in demo1.dm3 and see if it demos

as far as multi processors go...
i know of no "multi" setting for quake3 engine but i will try the smp command just for kicks

i got these things "hyperthreaded"
which means that the os (and few other programs) see 4 processors
some programs actually run slower but wolf seems to cruise right along.
i can see all "4" processors being used differently while im in wolf so im just gonna guess that the os/wolf is threading each of them.
which one i dont know yet

ok smp on:
processor #3 is spiked #4 is 1/2 way
1 and 2 are quiet for a total of 20% or so

smp off
all processors are working together but different (it's supposed to be that way)
for a total of about 20%

i think hyperthreading doesnt interact with the smp 1 command that well
both use the same percent cpu but smp 0 is more balanced.

it also crashed twice with it on and the maps loaded slower.

280/580 at default, but it can run as a ti4600 with no problem, which i beleve is 300/650 ?

Not tried any higher than this.

Ive always wanted a Gainward card so i was well happy when i finally managed to get 1

CPUs at 2200 atm as i can run it virtually silent at that speed 8) , but ill stick it up to 2.4 for testing.

If you want the old FOUR_DM.66 in Q3 1.31. Just do this, browse to your 'Quake 3' folder and then into your 'Baseq3' folder. Look for the file 'pak6.pk3' it should be around 7 megabytes or so. Open that file up in some ZIP program like WinRar that can open up ZIP files. You'll a see a 'demos' folder in the ZIP. In that folder you will see the file four_dm.66 extract that file and put it into your Q3\Baseq3\Demos folder and rename the file to four_dm.67. Then go into Quake 3, in the console type 'timedemo 1' and go to demos and you'll see it in there.

id software just changed the protocol version in 1.31 to 67 from 66 which was in 1.3, any demo that worked in 1.3 just needs to be renamed.

Spiffy, now does anybody have a basic config file (or at least one that everyone can agree on) to run the benches with? Mine is so modified that I can't remember what I would need to do to bring it back to stock (modified FOV, no gibs, gamma, etc).
