This game runs very slow. Slow enough to prevent me from playing.
My hardware is:
256MB of RAM
Radeon 7000
Pentium 4 1700MHz processor
Windows XP
Can anyone tell me why it's so slow and how to fix it?

I'm not a professional but I bet it's the RAM. 512Mo would help.  |

256 MB should be enough for a Quake 3 engine game.
The graphics card is more likely the problem. ATIs OpenGL support has always been below average.
If you are using the drivers with Windows or Windows Update you might not have any OpenGL hardware acceleration at all!
Try some different drivers if you can still find them, a newer driver is not always better.

It's your drivers.
The game is playable on 1998-spec cards (Voodoo2, TNT) so it shouldn't really be a problem on R100

mess around with your settings until you find a speed that is right for you. |

Playable...but for serious online gaming u need constantly 125 FPS Get a cheap Nvidia GF3 via eBay that would be enough for smooth fragging and maybe double RAM. |
