That's unbelievable. My AMD 64/6800GT ranged from 195-208 fps. I'll 
investigate the vsync but I think at this resolution I'm limited by the 
monitor.

I installed eQuake. The GL looks awesome. There's a nice built-in 
multiplayer server utility, though it doesn't seem to indicate if anyone is 
in the target server or not. I think I also need a security file of some 
sort. After entering a server, setting my keys properly and playing around 
a bit, I exited and entered another, but the keys didn't stay put. I gather 
I need to make an autoexec.cfg file and load it up in a .bat file in order 
to keep the settings?
