Quake3 117 FPS Boost DLLs

Probably the best performance boost you can get for Quake3 is compiling the QVM code into DLL files. This works great but causes some 'issues' when you try to play on servers with custom mods. Jack compiled these up and you can Grab them here. You should get around a 10-15% framerate boost on Win98 and Win2K machines. Do NOT use these DLLs unless you are a fairly advanced user who is comfortable moving files around. Thanks to Jack Mathews as always for hax0ring these. Extract the DLLS into your Quake3\baseq3\ directory.

    At first I was thinking of using these dlls so I could keep my old framerate but turn on some eyecandy.. I'd still be at 89.4 fps avg but I'd have some stuff on.

    When I play at the defaults it's so weird and confusing to me it screws me up. Bad. Heh.

    It's probably because my first experience w/ q3test was on a k6-2 333 and a voodoo banshee. Heh. I've always been used to a baked-ass deathmatch experience. I actually played at 320x240 for a while. (now I play at 640x480, with default texture detail, everything else is turned way the hell down or off)
