Locki's config

and last, but my no means least thanks to the latest BW Mega Game there is
now a demo (recorded by MaNT) that will test your FPS to the limit. Here's
what MaNT has to say...
...Taken from a BW Mega game (32
player FFA game), this demo (ftp://ftp.barrysworld.com/quake3/demos/bwmega.zip)
can be used to test how your graphics card will be able to handle the
toughest of online games. If you can get a decent fps, your card has
been thoroughly tweaked.
