The official FAQ says:
Q. What will be the recommended system requirements to play the game?
A. Unreal II will look stunning on high-end systems, but you should be able to play the game just fine on a P2/450 with a first generation GeForce card.
Legend's Mike Verdu stated in this Q&A on Unreality, published on August 23, 2001:
Q: What are the system requirements looking like at this point?
A: Right now we're developing a game that will be playable on a PIII-500 with any hardware accelerator card that supports T&L (e.g. GeForce I, 2, 3, ATI Radeon, etc.). The game will look fantastic on a high end system, but should be playable on a good mid-range machine. We are still evaluating how to support lower end systems with TNT2 and Voodoo3/4 class cards... Infogrames will make a final determination later this year.
However, Confucius says: "Never believe the official minimum requirements as stated on the box!"
If I were you I wouldn't even try running U2 on a P3-500, unless you're satisfied with a framerate of less than 20. This is just my personal opinion, but I expect the minimum system to run U2 at a decent framerate (>30) at a decent resolution (800x600) to be at least a 1GHz CPU with 256 MB RAM and a GeForce2 or equal video card. Anything less will be frustrating.
