I'm VERY pleased with how well it plays on my DX2-66 with only 8 meg RAM, and
I've seen it on a P90 with 16.  There is a difference, but hardly important.
I thought it stayed quite smooth even in a four player match where we were all
in the same room.  In fact, I detect a much bigger difference between my
computer and P90s when playing deathmatch in Doom II.  All I can say is, I am
incredibly impressed with the game:  I really didn't think action this smooth
in 3D was possible, and I don't see how people can get excited over Heretic or
Dark Forces once they've played Descent.
