I used to run a p2-300 + v3 without much issues. It was in vertex mode and
at 800*600 but I still managed to get 40-50 fps. The person with his Dual p2
setup should have NO problems running Q3.

I still have my V3 in my new Athlon tbrid 750 on a 21" screen and still run
it at 800*600. Yes the display would be better at a higher resolution but I
prefer to keep stable at 60fps at all times instead of having the variations
I get when I run at the higher resolutions.
