I was able to- just barely - play Lord of the Realms II on my 6500/225. It's noticeably better on my Starmax 4000 (604e 200mhz model), but even my Pentium 100 I have set up next to my Mac blows it away and plays it perfectly. Actually, now that I think about it, LotR2 only uses DirectDraw, not Direct3D. I'd not want to see a Direct3D game on VPC on the systems I have. Maybe a nice G3 :) If you're running a new enough DirectX, you can load up dxdiag.exe and run some of the Direct3D tests which should give you a decent idea of how it will run.
