Been playing all the Quake games for years but never got into the whole 
graphics tweaking side.  My new Q4 forced the purchase of a new card, a PNY 
verto 6600 w/ 256MB.  Not thie highest end, but I cant fathom shelling out 
more than 300-400 USD for a vid-card.  

Okay, where does one start with optimizing the graphics, other than 
'Settings - HQ'?  I read (and learn lots) here but many of you reference 
custom configs that I assume are somehow invoked, apparently setting dflt 
behaviours you prefer.  Same stuff for graphics?  Samples willing to share? 
Other specific URLs or pointers?

Thanks in Advance ... No, Really!
