It is probably the Pentium 233 Mhz with MMX.  My suggestion is to get a new
computer with a Pentium III or an AMD Athlon, or a Power Mac G4 (if you want to
cough up the money for the Mac version which seems to be less buggy than the
Windows version).  Also, more RAM would help.  Descent 3 requires me to set
virtual memory to 160 MB to avoid memory related crashes, even though my Power
Mac G3 has 128MB!  If you cannot afford much, you can buy Norton Utilities to
clean out the Windows registry.  The registry could have useless junk from
uninstalled programs, which uses system resources and memory.
