Doesn't matter.  32 bit runs great.  Can't see 'hinder' when the FPS is 
in the hundreds :)  Even played on a couple ProQuake RUNES sites. 
Swapped a few frags and now playing with my keys setups.  Will run 
through the SP game again for old times sake :)  I note there aren't 
many servers showing in GameSpy now, for Quake 1 anything.   GS seems to 
be dominated by Counter Strike junkies.

In looking through some 20 pages of google hits, I found tons of 
references to that "Killer Quake Pack" but not one working download for 
it.  Even FilePlanet/QuakePlanet had references to the file, but no file 
turned up.  Any ideas?  I know it's a pack from the early days, but sure 
thought an active site would have it.
