What is your case setup? Do you have lots of fans to pump out hot air? Is Quake the only prog that screws up? Have you tried benchmarking the video? Try using 3dmark 2001 and see what happens.

sounds like you have the $in1 blues dood, youll prolly have to reformat ,then try just the VIA AGP driver and the IDE driver and see if it works in #D before setting up all your iother stuff ,,I have been down this road many times

try running the 4.28 4in1's

they are real stable and fast

KT7A-raid t bird 950 @ 1200 256 mushkin rev3 gforce2 64 meg and sblive

they should work good on your setup too

i had problems with the 4.26 drivers

they were REAL unstable

ALSO make sure your bios is updated
