If you got an illegal op from Quake3 what makes you think you have a
problem?  Maybe it is a quake bug.  Quake is a fairly old program and
bugs/bad programming practises tend to show up if you use newer
hardware and operating systems than when it was compiled.

I like Unreal Tournament and I get General protection errors
occasionally which I never did with older hardware, older non-beta
video drivers and another operating system.
