Are you running OS 9.x or OS X??? Have you checked the Planetquake website??? If you can't find it there, email id software and ask them directly. Quake 3 didn't do too well on my TiBook 500MHz when I had 512MB of RAM, maybe I will give it another try now that I have 1GB of RAM :D. I purchased the version that is BOTH Mac and peecee, so that I can choose which to play it on.

Hi, I did have a quick look the planetquake web site but could not quickly see the command. I know its possible because I read a Macworld article that said that it was possible, but it was not enabled by default. I will keep looking for a while + e-mail them if I cant find it.

It already runs really nicely on my Dual 1Ghz with 1 Gig of RAM!!

Resolution might be one reason... I like to have it as the LCD's native... I might give it a try again later. Haven't decided yet. Of course, I could always put it onto the peecee if I REALLY needed to play it. Or just wait until I can spend the $$ on a new tower.

I would certainly hope so.. considering the video card and such that you have in that thing. If it didn't I would be extremely surprised.

Is there an OS X demo version of Quake?

I think that the demo version is only for OS9. Its a shame.
