486/33, no FPU (and links uses FP extensively), and 2M free RAM. 65545 in VESA
mode. Not fast under any circumstances. Took 10 minutes to start, due to the
calculation of the gamma tables.
On a 586/66 with FPU and 11MB free, it starts up in under two seconds.

Under the setting menu, the video option will tell you if you're dithering text
and/or graphics. A 48-bit dither is used, and while it produces good results,
it's not as fast.
