Timedemo in Quake 1???    If you're running a DEMO file for Q1 then I also 
need to run the same one.   Um, hang on (this will be a bit of fun! 
)  )........

[still hangin on there?]


OK, on both running systems, using GLQuake 0.97 (Quake 1.09), in 
1280x1024-16 bpps (32bpp is not available in high resolutions evidently). 
Here's what I have done since the release of Quake Full version.   I run the 
game, select New Game (you will be in the start room with shotgun and facing 
the 3 halls of difficulty levels), drop the console, type in TIMEREFRESH 
[enter], the view spins around, and here are the figures:

The P4 got 244.126574 fps.

The X2 got 754.654071 fps.


Specs:

P4= 478fc2 P4 3.0E (Prescott, 1m L2, 800fsb, HT), GA8-IPE1000-G (ICH5 
chipset),  4 x 512meg PC3200 in dual channel,  PNY GF4-Ti4600-128 w/nvidia 
53.03 drivers,  TB Santa Cruz,  XP Pro SP2.

X2= AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+,  ( E6,Toledo,90nm,L2-1MBx2, 2000mHz system bus), 
GA K8NS Ultra-939 (nForce3 Ultra chipset),  2 x 1gig PC3200 in dual channel, 
eVGA 6800GT (AGP8X) w/nvidia 77.77 drivers,  onboard nVidia 8ch sound, XP 
Pro SP2.

The fastest the P4 did even with the 6800GT was 247 fps, and I was kinda 
proud of that.  Now, I have the X2 but haven't run Quake on it yet.  I 
almost crapped myself a few minutes ago when I actually ran GLQuake for the 
first time on the X2.  Over 750fps!!!!!!!!!  :o)))   LOL!  WOW!

Your TIMEREFRESH results should be fairly high also.  Turn off VSYNC in the 
nvidia driver control panel.
