	Greetings everyone.  I am running DOOM on my 386SX-25Mhz (pretty 
slow).  Until a couple of days ago, I had to shrink the window  down to 
its smallest size to make the game playable (high detail--at small sizes, 
detail becomes more important).  Well, I was playing with my BIOS setup, 
and found that if I change my Shadow RAM setting from "Both (Main & 
Video)" to "Video" I can bump the size up two or three notches (if I 
lower detail, which isn't a problem with the bigger size).

	So.....
	If you've got a slow computer, try this out..  YOu might be suprised.

	Rick
