Quake 3 and framerates!!!!!

This is a discussion about Quake 3 and framerates!!!!! in the Windows Games category; Hello to all, Well I noticed on here that everyone was saying Q3 was noticably slower under W2K then it was under W98 and I too looked into this and found that I also dropped about 3-5fps myself. I did some experimentation with the GL drivers both from W2K and the latest V3 Retail drivers.

Hello to all, Well I noticed on here that everyone was saying Q3 was noticably slower under W2K then it was under W98 and I too looked into this and found that I also dropped about 3-5fps myself. I did some experimentation with the GL drivers both from W2K and the latest V3 Retail drivers.
 
My conclusion was that I found out that I regained those 3-5fps back by renaming the 3DFXOGL.DLL file in the system32 directory to 3DFXVGL.DLL. Now keep in mind that I have a V3 2000 AGP running under W2k(Build 2195) 128MB PC-100 Ram, PII-333.
 
Any ?'s just post them here Hope this helps out those people who worry about FPS at least more then I DO
