A beige G3 with 4MB of VRAM should have a RagePro. That *is* a 3D card. You'll
propably only need to install OpenGL and GLQuake should run fine.
However a faster card will surely help. A beige G3 is ideal to drive a Voodoo2,
and those are real cheap now, if you are able to still find one. I've seen
people sell unused V2 cards for as low as $40.
