It's a compilation add-on containing about 300 mods and 500 impulse
commands, including those for creating friendly and enemy bots -- best
add-on ever. So you can play against the bots with a grappling hook,
head lopper, etc etc. also, there are nicer gibbing effects. You can
also play online using it.

32-bit display in Quake will just hinder you; It won't improve the look
because the textures are less than 32-bit colour.

I got 2000 fps on 16-bit on a 2001 NVidia card ;)
