332 MHz Dual ARM 11 ?! Half-Life ran smooth in Pentium 100 single core.

Then, they added Steam, and my Celeron 300 had trouble running it. Shit by Valve to coule games with a mandatory subscriber agreement. Even breaks EU law to "one-sided change" it again and again later, to keep access to your game library.

Quake ran smooth on a Pentium 100. Half-Life absolutely wouldn't have, even at 320x240.

Pentium 100 couldn't even play Quake2 properly. You probably mean Pentium 2 series.

nope. 14fps on pentium 200mhz with 32mb ram in 512x400 or similar mode (640x480 was too much)
