If your monitor can handle it, set your refresh rate to either 75 or 85 hz.
Make sure you have the Quake II 3.20 w/ 3DNow patch.  Close down any
applications and background apps that are running, including in the System
tray.
Here are the steps to ensure that you have a fast, clean swap file:
1. Disable Virtual Memory ( I believe you have to reboot after this )
2. Defragment ( If you have it, use Nortons Speed Disk )
3. Enable Virtual Memory: Click: Let me specify my own virtual memory
settings.
    Set the Minimum to 256
    and the Maximum to 256
4. Reboot

If anyone has any input on this, feel free to comment or reply.
