you also might want to try -snoforceformat, -simsound and -primarysound -simsound's like -nosound, but still runs the sound mixing Adding +loadas8bit 1 may also help. Usually this is automatically 1 when there's low (8mb) memory.

I think there's a thousand "best creative" threads there that still won't answer your question already. Usually people get hung up on true OPL3 or the hanging note bug.

The PowerVR won't heat up much when there's a transfer bottleneck keeping it down. It's no Voodoo2. I never needed to give it extra cooling in a P4.

There's no information on what the the PCX2 does when reading/writing addresses is there? So far i'm assuming the tile information are in the 0x0C - 0x3F range, 750% wrong though.

why such a slow card, why not pair it up with an HD4670 AGP so you get glide, and can run any DX game you want until about 2011 Bridged AGPs can be horribly unstable and then there's the issue with drivers. The host OS isn't even mentioned, and for those more recent games the OP probably already …

r_znear is also another cvar to adjust for the precision of Z by altering the clipping plane. A low value like 0.01 can induce some nice zfighting in the distance

The Tom example map is q3dm7, however Tom's article is actually covering Q3test 1.05 The zbuffer can be adjusted with the r_depthBits cvar. with 0 being default (your default depth)
