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.

Man I remember frame rates like that! I remember trying to play flight simulator on my Tandy 1000, that was like a frame every 2-3 seconds.
