hmm i'm bored ... reinstalled NT4 + ie 4.1 to get the quicklaunch bar in the taskbar + ie5 + sp5 . Now several probs ... First one, Q3 SMP seems to be slower than Q3 with 1 cpu. Second prob, NT4 randomly crashes, and i don't know why, it doesn't seem to love my computer .... I installed the fat32 drivers, the Awe32 drivers, and i tried the Diamond & the Asus drivers for the V550 ... no probs under Q3 with the awe32.

well i'm gonna re-install NT4 + ie5 ... it's the same thing than w2k, Q3 smp works, and it needs less RAM to run i'll just lost my dear fading menus and the cursor's shadow argh ...

I did install the latests ASUS drivers for windows 2000 that supports both TNT1 & TNT2, same thing, no changes. But i wonder if it's not w2k fault's, in my computers properties it says my processor to AGP controller is lcoated on PCI bus 0, device 1, function 0. Then, my properties for 'NVIDIA RIVA TNT': PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0 ... i deleted NT4, don't know if it says the same thing ... Another thing, when you start Q3 in single cpu mode, open the console, and scroll back at the top of the startup logs, the first thing you will see if the cpu detection. when you launch Q3 in smp mode, it stops on the white screen just before the menu, which i think is the moment when it tries to detect the cpus ...

by the way, i just saw something strange, in the Driver Info section of Q3, it says me i got a RIVA TNT/PCI .... i got a diamond viper 550 AGP ... is that the same thing for those of you who got a TNT1 ?

Hmm you play Q3 @1024.768 x 32bits with a TNT1 ? wow, how do you do ?

so that's a Q3 bug, not any gfx card's drivers problem ?

Actually, does anyone know what's the problem running Q3 in SMP mode under w2k ? is it Q3 or the video card drivers that crashe w2k ? peronally, i got a TNT1, abit BP6 with 2 celerons 366@550 under w2k RC1 PRO, and r_smp1 + q3 reboot make a blank screen, i have to reset the computer ...
