tristan777, Annoying? Get a grip, get a clue. Your annoying. I own both Quake III and UT. Here's my little history with those too. Both of those games need to have better physics. I played both of them for about a month until Counter-Strike (NOT Half-life, I said CS!!) hit me. Counter-Strike (again NOT HL!), has the best physics and weapon dynamics of any game I've ever seen. Also, the kinematics in the game feels more real than any other. Those other games are just cartoons. The only thing that will keep them alive is their Counter-strike copy-cats in the MOD community for both UT and QIII.

Didn't work for me either in Win2K, they did some strange things. Even had trouble setting the resolution and color depth sometimes. Couldn't play Counter-Strike, it would just crash right after it finished loading. Are you saying they suck with just Directx 8 RC1, or with all of the betas of Directx 8? Let us know if anybody has some success with these things. My experience was horrible I went back to 6.47.

Don't waste your hard earned dollars on either one of those pieces of crap. Get yourself the real deal, the #1 online game PERIOD: Counter-strike!

Sorry guys, I'll have to agree with DosFreak on that one. why? go run a game like X-wing Alliance in Windows 98 and Windows 2000. There's a big difference. Not sure if this is true or not but I heard it has to do with the Nvidia's drivers in 2k...heard there is a bug in the NT kernel that limits them to just PCI speeds using directx...not sure how it is with other brands of cards...I've read this from an Nvidia rep. Good news is, I heard it will start to be fixed in the 6.40 driver set and the 7.xx driver set....so look for things to start shaping up with directx...I believe M$ is putting the ball in Nvidia's court on the directx performance.

sapiens26, I am so sick and tired of your dogmatic, obnoxious opinion, and your persistance in putting other people down. Well let me tell you something, tell your sister *THANKS* for letting me **** her.

Nope, your wrong again...wanna know why? Athlon-Geforce have to many incompatibility issues to call it a reliable system. So that means Athlon-Voodoo 5 vs PIII - Geforce. Actually that 600 PIII will whip all over that 800 Athlon/T-Bird whatever. Wanna know how? That PIII 600 can run at 133 Bus! It is easily an 800EB in disguise (if not more)...can't overclock an Athlon like that, so in conclusion the PIII is the better buy once again. Plus every piece of hardware is compatible with it.

OMG, You people need to get a grip, get a clue. There is NOT ONE PC faster than an INTEL Coppermine with a 440 BX Motherboard running at 133 MHz FSB. Who cares about those stupid synthetic FPU benchmarks, they are all misleading. AMD has you people brainwashed, I just buy whatever I think is the best solution at the time and the simplest. PERIOD. If that means AMD, then fine, but right now they don't have a better solution then 440 BX@133 and coppermine. All of you get a grip, get a clue.

I know what the half-life engine is. And as far as physics in Counter-Strike are concerned, it's way different then Half-Life, or any other game for that matter. That is all.

sapiens26, You are such a joker. Counter-Strike beneath your machine???....Yeah right, Half-Life engine still roXXors....That's why more people make MODS with it then ANY other engine....and as far as gaming is concerned..there is more people playing CS then any of the others COMBINED!! If that doesn't speak for itself then what the F**K does. There's not a game out there that has the physics as nicely done as CS...So nice that it is going to be commercially released in December....UT?? what a cartoon that game is, no real-world weapons, no real-world physics (not to say that every single 'physics' in CS is real-world either, but it is the best balanced)...soooooo, when you want to get a grip and get a clue you come find the SEAL...and for the rest of you that don't play CS, your missing out on the biggest Tidal wave of gaming ever.

sapiens26, HAHAHAHAHA!!! Quake III????? You want a challenge on Quake III???? That game is a POFS. It's only good for ONE thing. Real World Game Benchmarks. The REAL gamers quit playing that pathetic game a while back and started palying Counter-Strike. If you think you are ready to take on one of the best, then bring it. OH and by the way, I get 96 fps (QIII) on my MAIN machine. Genuine INTEL 733 and Geforce 2 GTS, with all the high quality stuff on you are talking about. I don't think your little T-bird can keep up unless it is over a gig.

sapien, First off you are an idiot. As far as Quake III benchmarks are concerned AMD can't keep up with Intel. On my second machine I have a 566 Celeron II @ 872 (103 bus) and I get 87 frames per second with a Geforce 2 GTS. My buddy has the same thing with an Athlon 800 and he gets 80 frames....so why don't you go look up [RwOc]DEVGRUSEAL on Beer for Breakfast 2 Counterstrike server so I can virtually rape you. Frog, You made a good buy.

DOS, I'd like to try out the new 2.0 Beta of the Hollywood Plus driver...what is the procedure for getting it to work on a Creative Dxr3 card? Thanks for the help.

Man, I don't even know why this is even an issue. I have NEVER, EVER had a problem with GeForce or its drivers in Windows 2000, and I'm currently using 5.30. If you guys want to falsely bash Nvidia, go ahead, cuz I'm over here running frame rates with "0" problems that you guys only wish your Voodoo's or Matrox's could do. Later.

I'm having some problems getting Windows 2000 to run Rainbow Six. I tried the registry hack from the compatibility page and it didn't seem to work. If some one can help me I would sure appreciate it.
