  Well there you go...

 BM>  does.  Yet another reason to upgrade.....
  My guess is that a P90 and 16 MB will be needed.  It would make sense, 
since that's the requirements for Quake II itself!
  Of course, a 3D card (preferrably a 3DFX card) would be very helpful, but 
you'd probably want a beefy machine to maximize its efficiency (3D cards tend 
to scale improvement with CPU speed).
 BM>  Oh, BTW, if you ever want to see D3D in slow motion play from the DOS
 BM>  shell in Windows.  ;)  I'm very surprised it didn't crash!  :)
  Funny, but I've never experienced a slowdown with it, even in demo mode 
(when it happens with Shadow Warrior).  But then, I have a P120 with 32 MB of 
RAM, so I better not!
