I have a Matrox G400 Dual Head, 32 meg vid card. Athlon 700, running on an Asus K7V motherboard. I believe the drivers i'm running for the G400 are v5.52.015.
I installed Quake 3 today. I loaded it up and it started playing the little demo. So i watched a bit of it and then got sick of it and hit enter to go to the main menu and my machine locked up. So i rebooted and tried it again, and this time i didn't watch the demo and tried to go right ot the main menu and my machine locked up again.

Anyone know how i can fix this?

Han888: Thanks once again. I'm going to give that a try. I believe i have mine running at 4x already, but i'll just make sure. Any other tweaks you can suggest? ;-)

Han888: The link to the turbo gl is either offline or bad...

So when i get it, how do i install it?

In quake 3, do i have to turn it on, or will it automatically be used?

Han888: I was able to logon to that web site. I picked up the gl driver. I'm going to install it on my system tonight. I have to send my pc133 ram back to where i purchased it tomorrow. It doesn't work with my athlon. I'm going to get a new stick in replacement.
