OK if I select run in 256 colors I can get it to 74 frames per second
and it doesn't matter what resolution I set it for in the game. Always
74 fps. I have max setting or lowest settings still 74 though. That
isnt too bad but I dont recall having to keep windows 98 in 256 color
mode back in the day to play quake2. And I had far less of a machine
and still got over 100 fps.

I have CL_Maxfps at 200

Any other suggestions?

Thanks JT
