    Not sure if this is where I should post this, but I wanted to let everyone know that Quake Wars Enemy Territory is available at Best Buy this week for a low $19.99.

    I know in my case, $39.99 was a tad much for this game considering the reviews weren't overly positive (most positive), but at this price point makes it much easier to buy.

    Either way, I'm always about adding some more games to my collection at a good price.

    Before the latest driver, the game did not run at all. With the added OpenGL support, I'm still not certain if it'll run. I'll test it as soon as I can.

    It was a joke, I've got the X3100 and it's an absolute joke. It struggles with Deus Ex which is an 8 year old game! :(

    Hrmm, that doesn't sound right. You may have some driver issues there, the x3100 should definitely perform more than adequately for games 2004 and older.

    Getting ready to order it myself, any comment as to how well it will run on the Quadro 140m? (8400gs)

    Yeah, I tried the demo before I bought, dont really think its worth to go pick up.
    Especially considering I still have to beat the campaign in Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 on the Xbox. Shoot, I havent even beaten the campaigns for Command and Conquer 3 or Age of Empires III and expansions, I need to get on top of things, stoopid skool... :p

    Yeah, I'll prolly have work issues to deal with once I graduate too. And getting married 4 months after graduation, and prepping for the MCAT and volunteering in a pathology lab for a recommendation, I dont think it will ever end.
    I should just sell all my games now to prevent future depression about the lack of fun.
