I thought you might be interested in this. I’ve been playing around with Quake III arena and have tweaked it to get 61 fps on my Ti PowerBook. My hardware: Ti PowerBook 400Mhz with 384 Mb Ram and VM on.

My Quake III Arena setup is version 1.17. Resolution is 640 x 480, 16 bit color. I have attached my autoexec.cfg which handles the configuration teaks. I also have included a screenshot showing the 61 fps.

The setup is not the best looking but it certainly is not the worst I’ve seen. Some of the video settings probably don’t do anything for the ATI cards but they don’t seem to be causing a problem either so I left them in. I got most of this autoexec.cfg from a friend who uses a PC with a Voodoo card.
