I have a Celeron @ 866 on an Abit BF6 motherboard, an Inno3d Geforce2 MX with the latest 6.34 drivers overclocked at 190/185. My problem is that on Quake 3, the low res scores are very low compared to what I've seen benchmarked. Here's what I get. (All are on High Quality setting.)
640x480- 66.8
800x600- 66.6
1024x768- 58.8
1600x1200- 24.6
From what I've seen from other people, I should be getting in the hundreds of frames per second in 640x480 and 800x600. Does anyone have any idea as to what could be slowing me down? Thanks.

Check your IRQs, especially if you're running Windows 2000. If too many devices (especially those required by the game) are sharing IRQs, you could see a performance hit.
