P3 1ghz with TNT2...
D3d HTL crashes and software has texture problems with 5-40fps performance.
I usually play on OGL with htl, and this brings back acceptable performance...
Before anyone asks, yes i've turned off all slower stuff...

it is the direct x 9 capadability you are paying for. You would need it for half-life 2 and Doom 3. And possible in case of the remotest chance a 3rd installment of freespace.

Heh.  For the longest time I misread your name as kajorama.  It rolls off the tongue better. :)
