[ut2004] Help? 64 bit linux client and poor fps.

[Nathan Dale Van Eps]

What maps are you getting those fps at? I'll give it a try and see what
I get. I have a 5900.

BTW, I don't why you get more frames with "UseVSync=True", but this
should be false.

Also, how did you get your AGP Rate to 8x? Mine seems stuck at 4...
