I also observed my ~1.2 ghz with a geforce 2 being suitable for just about anything I've needed to run. I'm finally running into things I want to run that don't run nice...but that's because I'm taking my once-every couple years look at 3d intensive first person games and noticing Chrome out now and HL2/Deus Ex 2/other stuff that sounds interesting in the future and figuring its about time to upgrade somewhat...although I'm disturbed to learn they make 3d cards with a memory half that of my entire computer.
But in general the player base for dominions 2 is not the player base for mass market (meaning: really shallow and pretty looking) games. Although I have found a rpg that doesnt run smoothly on my computer (Temple of Elemental Evil), its pretty much the only rpg/tbs/rts I've seen have problems running. Except when I abused the mechanics of baldurs gate 2 and cast every damage spell my mage had one on top of the other instantly while time stopped....that slowed things down a lot...and killed the final boss instantly and excessively.
It's kinda funny how much more out of date my 3d card is...1.2 ghz isnt bad but johan k has the same card in his 233mhz. And mortifier...having been looking at 3d cards recently...I feel sorry for anyone using a Nvidia FX card of any nature. They've been cheating on benchmarks and they still can't disguise it being a bad card compared to ATI's cards.
