    Since windows 7 steam is dead, i tried on bodhi linux, with the ultra low mastercomfig at 640x400.

    yeah it ran on better architecture and an extra gig of ram (instead of your 1, there were 2) and ran windows vista back when it was still supported.

    If you use Mesa LLVM pipe for windows, you should be able to use an even worse video card since Mesa LLVM renders opengl on the cpu instead of the graphics card itself.
    Then you use WineD3D for windows to convert dx9 to opengl so the Mesa LLVM pipe can render the game on the cpu. All you need is the most basic display adapter you can find.
    Try a really old cirrus logical card from the 90's...
