Dunno 'bout OS X, but in 9.2.2 RTCW isn't even playable on my B&W 350 w/ Voodoo 5. I too tried 640x480@32-bit and even turning *everything* off and set to the lowest settings, it still stutters a lot. BTW I already moved from playing on an 21" to a 17" monitor to keep on playing games on my B&W. Dunno how good the Radeon is compared to Voodoo 5, maybe someone else can advice you? I do know that if you want the greatest potential out of f.e. RTCW you need a fast QS G4 with a Geforce 4 card. I know, because I have one @ work and have almost finished RTCW, hehe don't let the sysops hear this ;-) This is really eye candy as it should be! -- Marc van Gemert | MacSonar Support Team | Webmaster MacSonar http://www.MacSonar.net | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
