Hmm, i've always noticed a certain choppiness on this game for some reason

It really shouldn't considering I've got an AMD6-2 550, 290mb ram, ami bios a Soundblaster Live and an 8meg video. Even before the soundblaster, it was choppy. I even disabled the onboard video and got a voodoo4 to see if more video power would crank out the performance. No dice (quake was a dream!). Now, i had heard something about AMD chips and interplay games not going together well. (something about changing CAS 2t, 3t in bios? )
And you say yours freezes a few minutes in? Have you messed with all the graphic settings in the game and it's config page? Maybe it's a Caching issue? Sometimes removing the Override folder prevents crashes(during loads). I wonder if it's something picky about timing; the game is always counting the seconds.
