in answer to the question: probably not too great at all.

but fine for playing ports of doom, quake 1 and 2 on solaris. or some open source text MUD and emulators. no way to run the 99.9% other games, even if put linux there will be no software mode UT2004 for you as the rare closed source games for linux are for x86 anyway

Umm yeah US-IV 4tl.
