Well there you go...

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).

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!
