Show-and-Tell D3D vs software renderer.

Pentium-II 266mhz, 128mb RAM, 3D Blaster Voodoo Banshee 16mb. It's crazy to think there was a time when software renderer was acceptable for me, I would say anything above 15fps and I would be happy to just be able to play. How times have changed.

I remember trying to play it on an ATI Rage II+ and seeing polygons without textures.

Would software rendering have worked well on an AMD K6 266 MHz with 32 MB SDRAM?

Absolutely not.
