Old hardware (<<1Ghz) won't work anyway in software, so thats out of
the race. Most likly candidate for non-OpenGL machines are laptops
with unsupported graphic chipsets, those however should have a few CPU
cycles to spare in most cases, something to try out on them:

open Window in 320x240, set glScaled(0.4, 0.4, 0.4), cross fingers
that Mesa will be fast enough in that resolution.

And there is already always the fallback of dual-booting, most laptop
users will either have a Windows or MacOSX partition to boot into as
alternative.
