On my little brother's old system, I did get a GF2 Ultra 64MB working. 
I had to set the res lower than normally possible with "r_mode 2" and 
have everything set on low or off beforehand (low quality, all advanced 
options off).

It's an old 900mhz KT133A system with only 256MB RAM, so it does run, 
but very slowly and with no visual enhancements whatsoever.  Of course, 
there is a guy who got a P3 450 and a GFX 5200 working, so I'm sure 
there are more pitiful systems out there running D3. :)

Spend a little cash and get at least a GFX 5500.
