Pentium 90 MHz?
16 MB ram

 

[Anthraxxx]

aren't the requirements pretty much the same as a TI-89 calculator? Well....color screen not included...

 

[Gunner]

Pentium 90 MHz?
16 MB ram

Nope, doom ran perfectly fine on my 486sx 25mhz with 4mb ram

And there were no pentiums at that time.

[Prince of China]

Doom system requirements:
Pentium 4 1.5 Ghz
384 MB Ram

[Gunner]

It shows who played Doom and who didn't...

Tredoslop you're so far off.

And Oxy you just copied and pasted that from the ID software site, but those specs are for the revamped dooms. Windows was 3.1 back then.

 

[Cole]

Your totally wrong, its
3.5ghz
2gigs of ram
Dx10 compatible card(only microsoft is able to play currently)
60gigs hard drive
But its ownage i mean the 8x8 textures and everything....omg its insane..


Actually i might be able to tell, i have a disk with the doom shareware somewhere around here..

 

[Prince of China]

Tredoslop you're so far off.

So, it's a Pentium 4 1.8 Ghz?

 

[Gunner]

So, it's a Pentium 4 1.8 Ghz?

No Tred, we're talking about Doom 1! not 3! There were no pentiums back then!

 

[Prince of China]

I know that we're talking about the first Doom, but my system has trouble running, I'm getting 5 FPS on my Pentium 4 1.8 Ghz machine...
Just kidding, I was also kidding about the earlier system requirements.

Did i win a 50mhz, 40meg, 8meg, doom gaming computer! omg, i never had a computer that could run anything about tetris omg!! finally!

 

[oldagerocker]

i remember when it was a stuggle to have enough hdd space to install games like doom on my old 486 machine with 4 megs of ram and windows 3.1. Such a pain in the arse system, windows 3.1 wasn't that bad though, pretty intuitive.

[lePobz]

I had a 25mhz 486 back in the days, 4mb ram and an onboard cirrus logic gfx chip ... it ran doom1 and doom2 perfectly

I overclocked to 50mhz and slapped in another 4mb ram and it ran just the same, so i guess thats as good as it got.

 

[ATI4EVER!]

[Vigilante]

It ran damn well on my Toshiba T4800CT laptop.
24 mb ram
75 MHz 486
1 mb super vga (i think)
500 MB HDD ( compressed to 1 gig)
COLOR SCREEN WITH AN 800x600 max res! w00t

[lePobz]

CB - mine was an intel i486 SX 25 - 25mhz ... no heatsink or fan on the CPU, but that didn't stop me from overclocking to double the stock speed

can't do that these days. yep, i'm old. Actually im only 22, I was only 10 or 11 when I was hardware-modding my first PC

 

[Lil' Timmy]

it runs kinda slow on my abacus.

Wow...had the exact same thing and did the exact same thing.

Good ole Packard Bell.

LOL my fav part of the Doom requirements: · 4MB RAM min., 8MB recommended.

4meg...and all things considered that wasn't all that long ago. Shows how fast things move.
