well i have never tried playing quake1 ona older 486 based system. so i decided to try it on the fresh one i just made. surpriseingly it worked really well, i mean it was just a bit laggy but it ran smooth, far smoother than i originaly thought. Plus here ar ethe specks, cyrix486DX2/66mhz(overclocked to 80mhz) basic SVGA VESA BUS card, and 16 mb of RAM. the minimum is like a 100mhz 486, but it runs smooth on the overclocked 66. mayby it is the difference of the chips, but i dout that. I also remeber trying to run tombraider 1 on a 486 system, 88mhz, it ran like a bitch. No FMV, and animation was at about 2-6 frames/sec. that is what i thought quake would do but i was wrong

Not really a kid. Not really an airbag. WHAT THE HELL IS IT?!? Who's asking? Are you French? An airbag is a safety device in a car that inflates during a collision and blocks you from smashing your head into the dashboard or steering wheel!

I think it's because 486es were still decent 'puters when Quake came out.

well no, many decint computers had a pentium(60mhz they started at) so the game was made for pentium. in the txt file it says that a 486 is no recommended for use and that animation will be horribly slow. in 1997 i remeber a dell add for computers with 400mhz, right after my dad got his super killer game PC at 133mhz,32 ram
