Slower than what? A 4.77 MHz IBM-PC with 64 Kb of RAM, or a 150 MHz 
Pentium with 256 Kb of cache and 32 Mb of RAM? I somehow guess that DOOM 2 
and Quake will run just fine on a measy little PP-200. And wait for a 
Pentium Pro built version of Quake for NT 4.0 with Xdirect video and 
sound. 

Wake up and smell the roses.

Bye.
