TGPTNDR, I don't think we are understanding this in the same way. I was trying to say that, despite my older video card and sub-1GHz processor, I am still able to get an enjoyable user experience from games such as Quake III. Some people here seem to be in search for the definitive benchmark that exactly matches the user experience, but I don't think they are going to find it where they are looking. On the other hand, measuring high frame rates in Quake III can still give you an idea about how well a given processor can run the optimized video and memory routines in the Quake III source. My point: Quake III is a poor benchmark to use to recreate an exact user experience, but it is a good benchmark to use for underscoring the strengths of a CPU's floating point and memory subsystems. wanna_bmw
