You'll run the game pretty well, but the memory on your ATI Rage card is low. I'd upgrade to a 8M (or frankly 16M) video card, thats definitely where you will notice the best improvement. If Sinistar pushes the graphics envelope, the difference will be even more significant.

Adding memory would probably do very little to improve performance, unless of course you're playing while your report for work is printing in the background, you're multitasking and hot-switching back & forth between a dummy Excel spreadsheet, and you don't want the boss to know you're goofing around :o)

Regards, JB

P.S. In this situation, DEFINITELY pull the plug on the audio card output jack!

Rich,
Don't know much about 3D but I do not think Rage Pro support Glide. Are you sure the spec say Direct3D && Glide? Did you miss the "OR"? I am not surprised even you say "No" due to the connection between 3Dfx and GameFx. You need a Voodoo or Banshee to get Glide support. Not sure whether TNT and Rage128 support Glide (I doubt it), I will do some more digging and let you know.
