You won't be doing Quake III at all. hmm have only attempted GL on one pci graphics card, was an ati rageII+ nastyness. what i have found is that old graphics cards that hardcore gaming people throw out are perfectly good for people like me who only play occasionally. I use a 32mb gf2mx [agp] that my friend was getting rid of and that runs halflife-cstrike|q3 fine [dont like q3 though.]
so yeah PCI does lack bandwith but you dont need to spend ££ on a superwizzy swineforce4[1] in order to play games! just find someone who does, and use their old one!
