You should find that out first.. or no one will be able to help you. Software rendering would certainly make the game very choppy, but the engine is very forgiving if you have some sort of 3D acceleration. Or to put it another way, I'm running a P3-450mhz w/512mb ram and a GeForce2 MX-400 and I consistently get frame rates in the 40-50 range in 1024x768 and upwards of 70fps at 640x480. Multiple asteroid fields slow the game down to 10fps(Damn Rikel!)for me, however.
So VS, and PR especially, run perfectly well on old crap systems. If your system is even remotely modern, you should have no problems.. But yeah, you will most definitely need a 3D accelerator to enjoy the game properly.
If you don't have a 3D accelerator, even buying the cheapest OpenGL compatible card you can find will dramatically increase the performance of the game. You can easily find something that will hold you over in the +-$25 range.
Good luck.
