My first Intel computer was a 486 33 MHz in 1995. It cost $1200, and I played Doom on it. At the time, I didn't notice any problem with performance. I would upgrade the processor a step at a time to 66 MHz and later 100 MHz. I needed 66 MHz to play Descent, which was more demanding.
The recent Doom news has caused me to click on Doom videos. (Randy Linden is coming out with a new version of SNES Doom, and I briefly worked with him on the original SNES Doom released in 1995.) The more I click on Doom videos, the more Doom videos YouTube recommends to me.
This has prompted me to play Doom again. My current computer is an i7-10700K. I was a Doom fanatic back in 1995, and I am surprised at how fun it is to play the game again.
