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.

Right 
from the beginning, Quake III has always loved the bandwidth available to the 
Pentium 4 processor and that's clearly evident here. 
Pure Quake III goodness!

Unreal Tournament 2003 is the sequel to 1999's 
multiple 'Game of the Year' award winner. It uses the very latest Unreal Engine 
technology - where graphics, sound and game play are taken beyond the bleeding 
edge. Unreal Tournament 2003 employs the use of Vertex as well as Pixel Shaders 
and it's recommended that you use a DirectX 8 videocard to get the most out of 
the game. 
The 
flagship processors perform on par with each other in UT2003. Overclocking does 
boost framerates nicely.
