It works fine.  I dont' think it works at all without a 3Dfx card under
Linux, tho.  I have a Voodoo3.  I've only gotten it to work at 640x480
(anything higher seems to cause weird problems/lockups).  I know for
Windows, the URT demo requires 200Mhz (maybe faster) CPU and 64mb RAM.  I'm
not sure of the minimum requirements in Linux (I have a 450Mhz CPU, 128mb
RAM).

There was mention of TNT support for URT (not sure if that was demo or the
full version), but said that it was much slower than with a 3dfx card.

I just know it works for me. :-)
