	I don't quite agree with your statement here.  I been running 
(and playing, for that matter) Duke3d on a 486/66 and it has ran 
BEAUTIFULLY!  In fact, I'd say much nicer and smoother than DoomII ever 
was.  I just did as suggested and boot completly clean and I am even able 
to open up to full screen mode without any sluggishness.  :)  so much for 
pentiums :)
