it's really going to come down to Pretty Pictures/Better Performance.

if you don't mind the game not looking quite as good, at the main menu, hit Command-F to get to the advanced options, under the Rave Settings dissable corona's and some other options. then just in the INF video settings turn down the world skin and texture details and dissable Dynamic Lighting. the game definately won't look as good, but hopefully will run better. also, with the Rage 128, make sure your resolution is 640x480, and 16 color might give you a little boost too...

other than that the only real reccomendations are to upgrade your RAM to at least 256 and turn off VM alltogether. Upgrade the video card(although in my G3 i upgraded from a Rage 128 to a Radeon with little improvement), and the most expensive option that would likely make the most difference, upgrade the CPU.
