Well, Quake is finally Dual processor, and hyper threading aware.
"Hyper-Threading Technology:
From 1.2 read me:
This update enables QUAKE 4 to take advantage of the Hyper-Threading Technology of Intel(r) Dual core processors. Players who have computer systems with this processor will notice significant performance gains in QUAKE 4. With the update, systems with a single core processor which uses the Hyper-Threading Technology will have a performance jump of up to 25% compared to non Hyper-Threaded processors. Dual core processors with Hyper-Threading Technology will see a performance increase of up to 87%. In short, systems with this technology will see the game run much faster than ever before."
It does seem quite a bit faster on the Xeons, in fact, very playable, even at Super High Quality. Still, the difference isn't worth the frame rate from that, and high quality.
I finally beat this game in Private mode, but their is one hallway I had to play an entire level over to get through. :roll:
I like this game. It's well thought out, and as first person shooters go, a bit of fun. I used the Athlon 3200 running 2003 Server to run it, and, it was a lot of fun.
Graphiics are very nice.
