Quake III Arena is a First Person Shooter (FPS) that revolutionized gaming as we know it. Using multiple light sources and having graphics textures that can fill videocards, even after 3 years it's still able to bring a cutting edge system to its knees.

The KT333CE boards have a small performance advantage at stock speeds however when overclocked, they again fall behind the KT266A based boards.
