Okay, I've got an AMD K6-III @ 475mhz, with 192 megs of Ram and a Voodoo 3000
(16megs/PCI) video card. Sound is via a SB Xgamer Live!. Note that I said it
was playable, but slow on my setup. I'm sure that there are some Wine "tweaks"
that power-users would be able to perform. I was happy just to get it running!

<smile>

PS My brother ran StarCraft on his 600mhz Pentium with a NVIDIA TNT card (he
has a Geforce now, the dog!), and he said that under Wine on that setup, it was
just as fast as from his Windows side. (note too that he was using Wine to run
StarCraft from a Windows partition-don't know if that helps the speed or not?)

Hope this helps! ;-)
