On the planet doom forums,

http://www.forumplanet.com/planetdoom/topic.asp?fid=5733&tid=1438663&p=1

a poster recommends setting the "seta image_cacheMegs "xx"" to a higher
number for better performance. I set it higher and didn't see any
difference.

However, the setting above it is "seta image_useCache "0"" Do I need to set
this to "1" to use the cacheMegs setting? I tried setting it to "1" but the
game crashes after trying to load menus on startup.

My important specs are:
Athlon 2500+
Asus A7V8X-X mobo
768MB PC2700 DDR RAM
Sapphire Radeon 9200 Pro 128MB 4.9 beta cat drivers

I'm getting a solid 15fps for demo1 at 800x600 resolution and this does not
change when I change any settings other than the resolution. I adjusted the
cacheMegs and it benchmarked the same 15fps.

Thoughts?

Regards,

Robin
