How many Quake mods could I download on to my computer? My local disk C has a total size of 9.76 GB. My local disk D has a total size of 2.95 GB. I'm asking you this question because I don't think that my computer could store an "infinite" number of mods. It is a funny question, but it is practical (to a degree).

How many mods?

depends on the kind of mods i suppose
there's ones which are purely QC, and theres ones which also come with new models and textures and such.
QC-only mods only take up a few kb cuz all that they are a is a single progs.dat, but mods which also come with new enemies and such can be much bigger.
like drake-mod is 20mb.... but thats a quite big mod, it contains a ton of new models and such
so... 3GB? you can fit a ton of mods on that.are you curious about what all there is out there in terms of HD content for quake?
> then make sure to check out my 'definitive' HD replacement content thread! <
everything that is out there for quake and both mission-packs, compiled into one massive thread

About 42.
That's all you have left?

if that's his total disk size, and he's running windows7, then I'm going to guess at about -25gb worth...
the bigger mods are about 50mb. they'd be smaller if they were stored in pk3s instead.
you can easily get bigger mods if they contain lots of high res textures or whatever, but avoid that sort of junk and you can get many more mods instead.

hard drive actually still run a lot faster than usb 1, 1.1 and 2.0 most of those old school ones were 5400rpm way faster than USB
I have a 1999 laptop with win7 on it but it actually could handle gaming if you put 98 or 98 plus on it but the screen is TFT ugly blur to it for most games, okay for warcraft III RTS games. Runs flash video and vlc player way faster on 98 as well. Successfully got the video driver installed on win7 some reason still slow as hell even with win7 tweaked down to nothing
