>a 386DX PC that's required to run Doom not like ass
First of all, Doom doesn't run at all on a 286 anyway so a 386 is the absolute minimum requirement, it literally can't run on a 286 because it lacks the instructions to simply run. Also, Doom runs the same on an SX or DX chip because it doesn't use floating points calculations at all
Doom also runs like ass even on the best 386. You need at least a 486 if you want a playable framerate with a screen size bigger than a postage stamp
Pic related is the framerates you're gonna get on the fastest 386 (40 MHz)
