Screenshot question (right forum?)

[Imp]

hi =)  I've been trying to take screenshots in a game to show how great my voodoo 5500 makes it look, but it comes out terrible.  How do you guys take such good screenshots?  Mine look like they only capture one frame of the antialias routine, and that makes everything look jaggy and horrible (almost like an Nvidia card =).  Thanks!

What do you use ?

Both the in-game screenshot and "Quick Screen Capture 2.1".  They both look pretty much the same, which is to say rather bad.  Looking at some of the awesome shots people here have posted makes me wonder what they are using!
