Whatever the other's might have said with new GFX cards, IMHO you need
a lot of RAM for Hexen2, because it swaps awesome much with only 16 MB
On the P133 it plays fairly smooth once you've visited all those corners :)
Btw, the time to (re)load your savegame takes not 45 seconds but only 3 with
RAM. I don't know if 32 MB is enough, but I tend to 64 MB beeing minimum.
