I would guesstimate that it barely manages that on my 240MHz BlizzPPC.

I think every company has its horror stories, but I have my doubts about
Power, Eyetech, Blittersoft - who told me AWeb was on order every week I
phoned, and I'd been phoning since November... - Weird Science, CS&E. People I
would trust with my money, Forematt, RamJam, Epic, and White Knight. If you
need hardware from Power or Eyetech, I'd choose Power everytime, only Eyetech
managed to send me something totally different to what I ordered...

Heretic and GLQuakeWOS both need 3D gfx cards, in other words, a BVision.

Buy Quake from Clickboom for the datafiles.

WarpOS, ppclibemu and 040/060 libraries.
