A friendly user on the TD Discord ran some tests and posted these numbers:

- Power Mac 6500/225 overclocked to 300MHz
- 136MB RAM (8MB added onboard, 2x64MB sticks)
- stock L2 cache
- generic 2GB CF card
- Mac OS 9.1
- virtual memory on
- Screen at 256 colours 1024x768
- Quake at 320x200.

- 320x200, 29.6fps
- 320x200 (pixel doubled) 29.4fps
- 640x480, 15.5fps

They also have TERRIBLE performance when running the RAVE version, apparently the 6500 has issues with hardware acceleration when running Quake or Unreal
