Now that sierra servers are down, is there any point to having unique cd-keys as opposed to the generic RAB2-RAB2-RAB2-RAB2-8869 given out by Vivendi for users that lost their cd-keys? (The RAB2 key allowed install, but not logging into Sierra server).

Graphics Tweaking Instructions

NR Graphic Tweaker Utility

Auto Graphic Tweaker Calculator
adjustments to make the gfx look good for various gfx cards --  One very common configuration listed in this guide (and all the other copies on the net) is WRONG; it has one too many numbers in it. It says a 128 meg card running 16-bit at 1280x960= 1246387328.  It should be 124387328  (no 6).

Or do the math yourself for your card:  ( Mb of video ram) x (1048576) - ( 4 x Screen Width) x ( Screen Height) x (Bits Per Pixel), use (2) for 16bit or (4) for 32bit color.
