So I got a computer <upgrade?>
« on: August 17, 2004, 03:31:47 PM »
I just got a 2.0 GHz with an athlon 2400 processor.  It came with a S3 SavageDDR pro.  I tried playing quake 2 with openGL on, and it will display the wrong colors or just blank spaces.  It also seems to lag where it needs to catch up every so often.  I downloaded the latestdrivers.  Could this be that my system resources have been totally eaten up?  Any suggests would be appreciated  Thanks!

I've heard once that a Savage video card can't handle q2's opengl well...  In fact, I heard that and someone gave me the card since they didn't want it because of this.  It's sitting right over there collecting dust...

Quake II is not 27 years old. I refuse to accept THAT much time has gone by.

I was on DM this morning for the first time in a pretty long time. Seemed fine to me.
