FWIW, Quake rocks on our PM-3, and has since 3.7. Our gamers love it. It
increased the popularity of our Q server so much that we started a
mailing list for it. Een have a couple of ranked players from PGL playing
now. :-)

Maybe we get fewer retrains in my area for whatever reason. Connects are
usually in the 42-46k range with very few if any retrains.
