hi guys,

i have a big problem. i switched from a quad core to a dual core (dont ask me why, dont want to explain it now) and suddenly i had some stutters in quake. every few seconds i have a little lag and it makes it very hard to play.

so it just watched the task manager and found out that quake 3 used 100% of my dual core cpu, whats quite impossible because the game is very old and for sure its not meant to support more then 1 cpu. the lags have definatly to do with this 100% cpu usage, but i have no idea what to do.

at first i tried to give quake 3 only one core via task manager, but then it was even more unplayable. i also tried to set process priotity to high what also resulted in unplayable. at last i tried to run it in compatibility mode with XP, but it had no effect.

so how is it possible that quake 3 uses 100% of a dual core cpu and is lagging like hell? =/
i think i had no problems with quad core because the quad was only at 50% and had some reserves, while the dual core is at 100%.
