[Simon Says]

Matrox has currently nixed the idea of creating a turbogl patch for Win2K. Thus, Q3 won't run and proclaims an Open GL error. Any ideas? Is there a work-around? Would love to see the performance possiblity and stability of Win2K. Thanks.

the "performance and stability of win2000" doesn't apply to playing games. As you will one day find out

Quake 3 runs fine under NT, even better than 9x. Ignore the post above mine.

I second that. I have dual p3 and a g400 max and it is smooth and fast. It's faster in win98 because the win98 opengl ICD is more optimized, but still it is very nice in win2k. I play it very often.

You may need to rename a opengl.dll file in you quake 3 folder, or install the latest win2k beta drivers for your g400 max.
