It would be like playing Doom on a 386-25.  You will definately need
a pentium or better to enjoy the 30+ fps deathmatches that you get in
Doom. 

Speaking of deathmatches, I was a bit dismayed when I heard that the
only weapon in Quake will be a hammer.  I'm sure that Quake deathmatching
will be great, but nothing compares to the vicious fire fights I get
into with the chaingun, shotgun, and rocket launcher!

I hope id doesn't drop the ball on Doom 3.  They have to license someone
to make Doom 3 for the *PC*, like they did with Raven for Heretic.
