 To get the Hardware Quake support, please go to the

 subdirectory on the SuperCD and follow the installation notes in 
 this readme file. 
 If you got this driver packet from a online service, the quake 
 support is available in a seperate package.

6.2	Windows 95 and AGP

 To take advantage of an AGP motherboard with a AGP graphics 
 card, your system must satisfy the following requirements:
   - Microsoft Windows 95, Service Release 2.1 (OSR 2.1) must 
     be installed.
    Service Release 2.1 is comprised of the OSR 2.0 plus the 
    USBSUPP.EXE extension from Microsoft. This software is only 
    sold by Microsoft as an OEM version together with hardware 
    and is not available separately.

  - Microsoft DirectX 6 Runtime must be installed. You can get 
    DirectX 6 from the SuperCD or from the Microsoft Web site: 
    http://www.microsoft.com/directx/download.asp

  - A special AGP device driver (*.vxd) for your motherboard 
    must be installed.
    We recommend that you install the driver that you received 
    with your motherboard, usually on a CD. If necessary, ask 
    your motherboard's manufacturer. 
    For Windows 95 we install a Generic vgard.vxd driver for 
    Intel LX/BX based motherboards.

6.3.      Windows 98 and AGP

  Full AGP support is integrated into Windows 98. Windows 98 
  recognizes your AGP card automatically and independently 
  installs any software required in addition to the Diamond 
  drivers, so that manual installations are no longer necessary.


7.      Notes about Monitor Selection
-------------------------------------------------------------------
  In order for you to get the most out of your graphics card, the 
  monitor that you use should have performance specifications that 
  match those of your graphics card. 
  NOTE: Please adjust your monitor settings in the Display 
  Properties dialog.
  
                  ----  I M P O R T A N T  ----

  Use only settings for resolution and refresh rate that are 
  supported by your monitor. Permanent damage to your monitor 
  can result if you operate it for extended periods with settings 
  outside its specifications. 
  If you change monitors, be sure to compare monitor parameters 
  and, if necessary, make appropriate changes!
