I personally don't care to play the game on anything else than a 486/66, and I can hardly stand that. It's fine on a Pentium/60. However I like it best on my Pentium/90 w/24mb RAM (loads fast too, <grin>). And if you've ever played multiplayer (8 player in particular), you'll notice even a 486/66 will CRAWL with many people in a room shooting. While the Pentium/90 will stay quite smooth. -Matt A.
