I am running Dual 400's with quake3 and having nothing but problems with it. I have r_smp 1 set but it still locks up on me. Is there something i am missing?? Any help would be appreciated. THanks

Might be something else than the dual processors that causes the hanging. It is how ever impossible to determine with this little information, perhaps you could list your hardware setup, and the sircumstanses your machine hangs in.

If you have any 3Dfx card it won't work. And to top that off, you have to have an OS that supports dual processors. Even though Quake 3 will run dual processors under Win 98, Win 98 does not say that it supports dual processors. Or it could just be that you have the wrong vid card drivers.

I have a Geforce DDR Asus card running the new detonator drivers. I have 512 ram and a mx300 diamond sound card. I am running win2k advanced server. so i know its not the os.

Hmm... does it lockup if you try to run the game with a single processor? Or could it be something else that is causing the hanging?

Odd things happening with the the new Detonator drivers on both win98 and win2000 could be your problem. Sometimes Q3 will not run until I reboot, then it screws with my display settings. Eh who knows....
Hey anyone play that Unreal to Q3 mod pretty neat! The maps are right on the money wonder what they used to convert them. Unreal maps look pretty damn in good in OpenGL via Q3

Yes, if you are running version 6.18 which by the way is more commonly known as Detonator III there are a LOT of problems with it, so i would say wait for the next driver revision (the drivers fucked up my tv out and Nvidia said for me to wait for new drivers)

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help on this topic. I recently purchased dual 800's 133 bus. And it runs freaking awesome in q3. With just a DDR asus Geforce i am getting over 120 fps. So i guess it must of have been the pentium 400's.
