The modem and network maps have more open areas than the single player
maps.  In general, open areas mean more work for your system.  Some
computers may find this task a bit daunting.  There's a helluva lot
going on in a Build Engine game like Witchaven.  Much more, in fact
than in the older 3D, first person games.  A 486 dx2/66 with a good
video card can handle it reasonably well, though.    Obviously a
Pentium with a fast video card and quick hard drive would be ideal.
Such a system is certainly not necessary, though.  Anyone who
experiences choppiness should just try another map.  Down & Under is a
pretty fast map.  Give it a go.
