According to the Wikipedia page on id Tech 4, it needs a card of the GeForce 3/Radeon 8500 generation with a minimum of 64MB, and the recommended card is more like a 128MB Radeon 9700. Sounds like CPU horsepower is a lot less significant than I remember hearing at the time of release, but the alleged requirement is a 1.5GHz CPU (x86,) so there's your basis for comparison.
Computers: Amiga 1200, DEC VAXStation 4000/60, DEC MicroPDP-11/73
Synthesizers: Roland JX-10/MT-32/D-10, Oberheim Matrix-6, Yamaha DX7/FB-01, Korg MS-20 Mini, Ensoniq Mirage/SQ-80, Sequential Circuits Prophet-600, Hohner String Performer
