Heh. Nice.

I personally love my Riva TNT. 16 meg video card, supports standard OpenGL.
It's a sweet card. I can play at 1024x768 and about 45 FPS.

Can I make a recommendation for Quake2 variants? I personally love Weapons
Factory.
It's a Quake2 version of Team Fortress, but on steroids. =P

This game is truly insane. It's capture the flag, with a class system. there
are 10 classes, each with their own set of weapons and special abilities.

If you want to play Capture-The-Flag, this is how to go. =D
