Just put the 3dfxvgl.dll in and there's no need to rename it. As for half
life, I constantly get a ping of over 500 on TFC and that is really annoying
for a sniper so I have to change to one of the attackers which I don't like.
Quake3 though, I got a ping of 200 and never over 250 last night and the
server had about 8 on, it was running alright. I'm on a P233MMX by the way.
