I have two computers, a fast 686 and a sloooow 486. The 486 (100 mhz
with 1meg PCI and 32 FP ram) gets 12 fps running dos Quake at 320*200
with default screen size. It's actually quite a handicap playing against
my friends over the network, I came so close to being beaten by a
keyboarder it wasn't funny. I have played netquake with this machine and
you can't notice the difference : ) One thing it really does kick ass in
is those reaper contests. It takes 8 minutes to play a 5 minute game,
and I often get 1.5 times the frag count that is possible on a faster
machine.
