Are there any good ones that do not require a Pentium IV with graphic acceleration cards in order to run?

Do any of the Grand Theft Auto games run on a PIII?

Thanks in advance for any info you can give out.

The older games in the Need for Speed series (Hot Pursuit (not the sequel), High Stakes, and Porsche Unleashed), the Carmageddon series, Test Drive 4 & 5, and Ultim@te Race Pro run just fine on a PIII. The first two in the GTA series should work; not sure about GTA3.
