It works OK on my PC:
1.33Ghz Tualatin Celeron
GF4 4200 64mb
512mb PC133
61.77 Drivers

I think your PC will be OK.

This autoexec.cfg will help:

seta image_downSizeLimit "256"
seta image_ignoreHighQuality "1"
seta image_downSizeBumpLimit "256"
seta image_downSizeSpecularLimit "64"
seta image_downSizeBump "1"
seta image_downSizeSpecular "1"
seta image_downSize "1"
seta image_forceDownSize "1"
seta r_useOptimizedShadows "1"
seta r_useTurboShadow "1"
seta g_decals "0"
seta g_showBrass "0"
seta g_muzzleFlash "0"
seta g_showPlayerShadow "0"
seta image_anisotropy "0"
seta image_filter
set r_displayRefresh "75"
set r_brightness 1
set r_gamma 1.3
set com_allowConsole "1"
"GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST"

I get 21FPS on the demo1 Benchmark at 1024x768 High Quality.
It's not as bad as people say, if you don't mind playing
about 20FPS
