hey dudes!

ive a hw-prob, hope someone can help me out with some advice:

well, one week ago my computer fucked up so i'm using a damn old amd k6-2 400 mhz machine. but quaking wont work well cos i have 8 fps average. that realy sux but i cant explain it 2 me.

but here my system-spec:
cpu: amd k6-2 @ 400 mhz
ram: 192 mb sd-ram
gfx-card: ati radeon 8500/also testet on voodoo 3
hdd: ide 40 gb
sound: creative sb awe 32

first i thougt i have a prob with the gfx-card wich could be a bit incompatible 2 the mainboard im using but after testing it on a voodoo 3 pci, i can say, its not the incompatibility of the gfx-hw
then i thought about an incompatibility of q3 engine with amd k6-2 processors but toms hardware guide gives benchmarks with this processor and q3.
and toms hw-guid says i should have 30 - 40 fps in full detail...

plz, if anyone has an idea whats going wrong, let me know!

thx and greetz

Well your limited to the least fast component of PC and in this case it seems like CPU. Afaik, K6 series are real obselete atm.
