- All the games should have run fine on a 486DX66, especially DOOM and TIE
- Fighter (both of which run fine in low detail on a 386DX33, unless
- you're referring to the hi-res CD version of TIE Fighter). Your machine
- is probably suffering from a slow video card in which case it wouldn't
- matter it was a P200. Try a better graphics card (like an S3 868 or
- better, or a Cirrus Logic based card) and see if that doesn't improve
- the gameplay.
