They do that because Quake III is a good all-around benchmark for video cards. It can really tax a card with some of those levels. HL is just the Quake 1 engine on speed, so it can run on just about anything these days. Even my old Riva TNT could run it great!     ----------------------------------------------------- Robert J Mitchell [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------     -----Original Message----- From: Eric Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 9:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: FilePlanet   What really irks me is that the hardware sites still insist on using Q3 for their benchmarks for video cards...  Hundreds of thousands of people would much rather know how it performs in HL/CS/TFC.   Eric (the Deacon remix) http://www.firekite.com   -----Original Message----- From: Scott Cassaday [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 9:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FilePlanet here is a tidbit from fileplanets site "Twenty MILLION Megabytes Served Why are there long lines on the public servers? Becayse the Half-Life and Counter-Strike updates are obscenely popular. In fact, since they were released on Wednesday, we've served around 20 terabytes, or about 20 MILLION megabytes of data. That's around 13,888,889 floppy disks or 31,008 CD's worth of information. And we're still going! "   Guess HL is still king of the hill.
