Tell me on which Operating System (OS) are you playing Quake3.
I am playing it on best OS ever: Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition

- http://netsky.org/datacenter.pdf <-- price for datacenter

This OS is extremly fast on ONE CPU because it has speed optimizations and other things that only datacenter edition has. It supports 64CPUs and 512GB of ram and according to tests which i made quake3 runs 92% faster than on Windows XP Professional (same settings same drivers same hardware).
So now i am interested what OS do you all have.
My machine specs:
- QDI KuDoZ 7x/400A Motherboard
- AMD Athlon XP Barton @ 1.98GHz /180FSB
- 1GB Ram DDR 400
- Radeon 9500Pro Overclocked to 9800 XT (425MHz core / 340MHz ram)
- SoundBlaster Live with Live Drive II
- 120GB+120GB Disks Seagate
- 3COM 3C905CX-TX-M
- Pinnacle FireWire Card
- Yamaha F1 CD Writer
- Yamaha 8424 CD Writer


-- Only graphics card + amount of ram is different..
