I recently added a new MB+CPU to my system giving me the following setup:
P3 700E (100MHz)
Abit VA6
128MB PC100 SDRAM (non-CAS2)
IBM 10.something (5400 rpm)
Creative Labs TNT2 Ultra 32MB
Win98SE
After adding the new hardware, I performed a clean reinstall of W98SE and just loaded a few apps (including Q3Arena).
I'm only getting 45 fps running Q3 Demo1 with the "Normal" settings at 640x480. That really bites. I can safely OC to 840 (7x120) but I'm still only getting about 55 fps.
Is my memory and Video card combo holding me back? Are there special config files for Q3A needed to achieve those 100+ fps numbers I see on all the review sites? Someone please help me understand my disappointing results.
