Bottom line is your machine will not run Quake 4 in a
playable fashion. Your CPU is more than fast enough,
you have enough RAM, the problem is your video card. I
started by attempting to play Quake 4 on a machine
with an nVidia GeForce FX 5500, and the screen was
jerky and the game was basicly unplayable. A shift to
a GeForce 6200 and the game became quite playable
(though NOT at the higher screen resolutions). The
NVidia GeForce 4 as I understand it are not quite as
good as the GeForce FX 5500. Now I paid about $60 for
a GeForce 6200 card, so you are not talking big money
to make your machine able to play Quake 4, but you
will need the hardware upgrade.
