We have an 10 Mbps Ethernet network in our office, running P100's each
with 32 MB RAM and we find that when we play Quake at any vid_mode, the
gameplay is smooth as silk, the lag time is probably 10 ms.  But I have
watched both screens while others were playing network and someone would
fire the lightning gun with Quad on someone, and I would see the blood
flow out of the person (on the screen of the person firing) and on the
other screen the player was not taking damage.  We've also witnessed
rockets fire right through someone at close range.  So I don't think
that these problems of people seeing one thing and another actually
happening is due to lag.
