Have you ever wanted to speed up DOOM???  Then try this:

If you have enough memory, like 16meg or more, load RAMDRIVE.SYS
in your CONFIG.SYS file with the options:

device=c:\dos\ramdrive.sys 12288 512 1024

Reboot your computer, and tada, you have a 12 meg disk in memory.
Switch to that drive, it should be labeled something like:
MS-RAMDRIVE.  Copy DOOM onto that drive, but beware, because everything
you copy will be erased once you shut the power off, now run DOOM.
It is really fast!!! (loading and stuff) 

Have fun, be careful, and always play Ultra-Violence!!
