I'm trying to run a dedicated Q3A server(for testing purposes) with this:
 
K6-2 333
64 mb RAM
ATI MACH64 2mb vid card(or SIS 4 mb if I do onboard video)
 
 
the Ati card does NOT have openGL support...which Quake3 is requiring to run(or so it says)
 
anyone know of a workaround so that I may run this dedicated server??
 
FPS doesn't matter, just that I can start the server.

I would try the SiS on-board video. You *may* get a crappy OpenGL mini-driver that can get you into the game. Either that, or dig up your old Voodoo1...

Well its easier than you would think.
just make a batch file to start the exe file and put +set dedicated game_type (1 for DM, 2 for CTF, etc) after it.
 
Example:
@echo Starting Q3A Server on Port 40000
quake3.exe +set dedicated 2 +exec your_server.cfg +set net_port 40000

I have:

Do any of those cards have Direct3D support? If so, you could try using a Direct3D-to-OpenGL wrapper....
