What was the first pc you played q2 on?

this peice of shit http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/v3300m-p3-667-128mb/4505-3118_7-2383165.html ..had dual 56k lines then cable 4-5 months later..this garbage machine up until like 05ish 

Roughly 3 times the horsepower Quake2 was spec'ed for. I'm not sure why you're complaining.

if you clicked the link instead of trying to act high and mighty you would notice that it comes with an 8mb integrated video card that isn't upgradeable and comes with no slots.. nt though breh!

I clicked the link.  A P3-667 in software mode would run Q2 better then a Pentium MMX, Pro or 2 with 3D acceleration.  A P2-600 would run Q2 as good in software mode as an older machine with 3D acceleration.  P3's were monster processors.  I had one of those P3's.  I had it until I replaced it with an AMD XP 1800.  That was between ~2002 and 2007.

Precisely. I clicked the link. That's how I knew it had 3x the CPU required for Q2. Breh.

So when I hit the nail on the head, apparently the other end of it struck a fucking nerve, huh? Such a fierce nerd you are.

[Jay Dolan]

Not really. I thought, for once, we were having a good spirited back-and-forth. 

[|iR|Focalor]

Yeah, there's lots of good spirited people in Florida. The land of silver's full of good people.

P4 2.0ghz, 8800GT, 516MB of ram, I think.

Probably the first PC I ever owned, that a guy at work helped me build (I grew up on Commodore, but got out of computers in my mid teenage years and didn't touch my first PC until 1998):

PII 300Mhz
Abit LX6 mobo
Ati All-In-Wonder Pro 4meg

Got to play Q2 in all its openGL glory on that old ATI card.

Release date, December 1997: Cyrix 6x86 PR200 (in actuality a 150 MHz creature...), 16MB RAM, 1GB graphics... would shortly thereafter be upgraded to 32MB RAM and a 2MB S3 Virge gfx card... oooh the luxury! 320x240 software mode... didn't even have a Net connection at the time so I had to DL the 3.10 point release at uni and split it over several floppies! Those were the days. Not.
