I have a P133 with Pure3d and 80 meg of RAM.  Frankly, it runs way too slow
for good gameplay, even though I have tried all the speed tips I can find
and turned off most of the gee whiz effects.  But even so I would have to
say I am enjoying the game and will not take it back.  I have set the skill
level to easy and the game speed to 80%, and it is just barely playable, but
it is worth it to see the awesome level design (really _world_ design) and
graphics effects.  The sense of immersion is so complete it's like taking a
journey to another world.  Plus I had already decided, even before this game
was available, that I would be upgrading later this year, so I know I will
soon have a machine on which it does run acceptably.
