I know im not on Linux but for ref I get fairly stable 60fps in 800*600 with most of the candy on using v3-3000 AGP Athlon750 256Mb Win2K So you should be able to get 30-50 without issues. Have you tried turning SMP off in Q3 as I doubt the 3dfx drivers support it. Might be the problem. Just look for smp in your config and make sure its set to 0. HTH Crap Name [AGQx] -- ...
