- It is the same way with DOOM, the DOS version runs extremely fast at maximum
- screen size and resolution with only 4Megs and a 486DX4-100 processor, however
- on Win '95 the same version of DOOM but for Win '95 runs at half the speed with
- 16Megs RAM Pentium-120 processor and set with maximum priority with no other
- programs running. However if you can manage to find the OS/2 version (extremely
- rare) you will find that it runs the same under the 4Meg 486DX4-100 as the DOS
- version.

- Now all I have to do is get OS/2. . .
