I'm on a duel G4/450 with 1.5G of RAM and an original Radeon. The only major slowdowns I notice are right at the beginning of a level (when it is still loading textures, presumably), and for some reason around media (sewage, etc), but not all of the time around media. It still doesn't play as fast as original Marathon did, but then I've got 130 hires 512x512 true-color textures per set, so that's... about 65MB of stuff in VRAM for just the textures. It's mostly the graphics card that's the bottleneck: I'd recommend over a 64MB card (better than mine, basically) for good performance with the highest res textures.
