I ran Doom without any problems whatsoever on my 486DX/33 with 4 MB RAM. It did have a 32-bit VESA Local Bus video card though.

Doom 2 was mostly okay on that machine, except for a couple big levels like MAP29. But after I upgraded to 8 MB RAM, everything ran fine.

Some PWADs (especially later ones) need more powerful hardware though.

Anyway I doubt the dude with that IBM PS/2 386DX/25 will have much fun with Doom. I've seen it running on 386DX/33 and that was already slow enough to need low-res mode and some screen size reduction. Better stick with earlier stuff like Wolf 3D, Catacomb 3D, etc. (see pic)
