I've been thinking about change to Windows 7 from XP. Does Windows 7 work good with Ezquake?, any known problems?

Yes, there is a known problem that can occur on certain computers with integrated audio chip, making ezQuake to have higher ping and even pl, but this problem can be fixed easily. Other than that, I think W7 runs ezQuake even better than XP, at least I have had less "problems" with it (ie. NVIDIA drivers + threaded optimization tricks not needed on W7).

Good to know. Planning to upgrade from XP sp3 to W7 soon, along with a SSD disk and some more RAM.

SSD disk? Win7 is ftw btw! Solid State Disk, ya heard? I certainly recommend getting an SSD for the OS, games and apps and then a big quiet hd for media and other shit. I'm rolling with: Asus PT6SE - Intel i7-930 @ 3,5GHz - Corsair 6GB ram - 2x ATI 4850 - Intel X25-M 80GB - Western Digital 1TB - SilverStone Raven01 - ViewSonic Fuhzion VX2268wm 120hz - Windows 7 Been very happy with w7 so far. Overriding the USB polling rate was quite a bit more difficult than in XP, but outside of that it's been smooth and fast (except ati in qw )

I rather wait until the SSD tech can optimally use sata3 and until the prices are lower. Much lower. Absolutely no need for SSD whatsoever. I'm still on P-ATA and have my monitor at 60hz and with Fodquake, it's probably just as smooth as these crazy setups I read about here
