Hi,

I'm new to Quake3A. I have a DP533 MHz PowerMac G4. I'm running Quake3A 1.27g now. How do I enable the use of the other CPU? Do I need to download another version of Quake3A?

TIA,

- JT -

You can't, under Mac OS 9...not yet.

There's gonna be an update sometime...I think the OS X version is DP-aware, though....

SMP is built right into Quake 3.

Down side is that Macs can't take advantage of it right now with OS 9. It will change with OS X.
