Just installed Quake 4 and it runs really jerkey.  I'm running a Dell
Dimension, P4, 3.4ghz...Radeon X300 PCI Video w/ 128mb, and running 1gb
RAM.  Audio is a SB Audigy 2zs card.

I'm having to run the game at 640X480 at "Low Quality" and with the
weapons not showing, just to make it playable. (barely)

Seems to me that the game should run better on my setup...any advice as
to what I might do?  

Thanks...
