Yeah its out. Got it yesterday. Promptly ordered a new video card last 
night. Chugga chugga. R300 is no match for this game. Was barely 
playable at 640x480. Looks real sweet on the 24" flat panel(as long as 
you are not moving...lol).

toggleconsole is broken so don't plan on hitting ~ to open the 
console...instead you have to do ctrl+alt+~

a link to activision forum topics for Quake 4:

if you are using a flat panel be sure to set your aspect ratio 
correctly...most widescreen panels are 16:10 not 16:9

Quake 4 does not natively support widescreen resolutions, however you 
can configure Quake 4 to use a 16:10 or 16:9 aspect ratio by changing 
the r_aspectratio cvar in the console (CTRL+ALT+~). Note that using the 
console is unsupported by Activision. The following values will adjust 
the aspect ratio:

0 = 4:3 (Standard)
1 = 16:9
2 = 16:10

I'll let you know how it runs when I get my new card(7800GT).
