It would be really amazing for the P4 to be slower than the Athlon at 1024x768/32 in Quake III. For one thing, it'd have to perform like an equivalently clocked K6 in order for the graphics card to not be the bottleneck. 640x480/16 is totally valid for Q3A performance. Gamers who play to win deathmatches often use this setting, I'm told, because they get the smoothest frame rate (which is important for fast reflexes, I hear) and the highest kill factor.     -JC
