I went from 45fps with the voodoo 3 all max (16-bit of course) to 57fps all max and 32-bit. max payne WILL NOT even LoAd on my system now. it gets past the videos in the beginning but then locks hard!!!! oh well. at least i get 32 bit textures and 32 bit color. which i can't tell the differnece. HOWEVER, daddy loves the anti-alaising!! so freaking sweeet. Thanks for all the posts and suggestions, this message board rocks. i'm going to d/l the latest drivers from nvidia now. hopefully i'll get more fps. doubt it. stupid 700mhz.

c-ya!!
You might want to turn off Vsync in Open GL when benchmarking Q3.
And going by that 57fps it seems your also running at 60Hz refresh rate.That'l give you a headace and its bad for the eyes.
My MX400 used to get 56fps in Q3 1024-32 max. Now i get around 90 with the Ti. You should be seeing at least 75-80 only because your FSB is slower.
