My main PC broke so I'm reduced to using a Pentium 3 500mhz with a TNT2 gfx card. Would Deadly Shadows run on this setup using minimal detail?
Also, I'm buying an dual core Athlon soon with SLi geforce 7300 gfx cards. Would it work on this setup too?

1) No.
2) Yes.

Actually it's a P3-500 with a Geforce 2 not a TNT2. The PC has 512Mb RAM and the gfx card has 16MB. Wouldn't TDS run in 640x480 all settings low?

You need at least GF FX5200 or Ti4200 to run Thief-3.

From personal experience, I would consider the FX5200 to be the absolute minimum, and even then horrifically inadequate.

To clarify, Deadly Shadows will not even start if your video card does not support pixel shaders. That means Nvidia Geforce3 (not Geforce4MX) or Radeon 8500 at the absolute minimum, but those cards will be unplayably slow. The back of the game box clearly indicates the minimum requirements to run the game.
For what it's worth GBM, my TI4200 runs it better than my FX5700 did. The FX5200 is a terrible card in a terrible line.

..with

uhh..that better be a typo.
..it doesnt matter what card you have,a p3 500 will not be able to run deadly shadows (faster than 1fps that is).

That's what I meant. The FX5200 is probably the bottom-end as far as being able to play Deadly Shadows at all. That's what I had when Deadly Shadows came out, and even though it can technically run the game you get a terrible low-res / no-effects slideshow with stuttering everything and all kinds of uselessness.
It was a terrible card in a terrible line, no question.
