The Ultimate DooMer

CPU speeds?

Recommended Posts

I've always wondered this, so what CPU speed does everyone use to play DooM with? (If you use more than one, then vote for the one you use more often)

I have a P200, but recently I've been using a Duron 700, as it can handle making LTSD and playing newstuff wads. (so I vote for 700)

Athlon XP 1600+

So, 1.4, but just as fast as a P4 1.6. So I guess I pick 1000+. :P

I plays Doom anyways, so I can't complain.

My Doom machine is a Pentium III 450, with 224 mb of pc133. Of course all other machines here have Doom on them too, and they're much faster, but that's the box I do my editing and most of my playing on :)

Well, it kind of depends on which comp I'm using. If I use my desktop (where I do all my Kill editing and most of my Dooming), it's at a nice 120mHz with 64mb RAM.

My laptop, which I use when I download an add-on for Doom to use in jDoom or Legacy, runs at a good 1.1gHz with 512mb RAM and a GeForce 2 Go.

2.2 GHz. Someone should add an "Over 2000Mhz" category. That's an XP machine - if I want to use the original exes, I normally run them on my 750 MHz notebook.

Hmm. 120 milli-Hertz. That's not very fast :p

120 megahertz. That's what I meant. My second fastest computer next to my laptop. Hey, the next step down is a Pentium 90, then a 486 DX4 100 megahertz, then a TI-99/4A which hooks to a TV with UHF connections. Then a piece of paper and a pencil.

I have a 333, and only a 333, (although zdoom is kind and clocks at at 334.7 normally) so that is all I can use. It struggles with linedef-gargantuan wads such as might be made by certain Swedish doomers, and it's also crap at multiple bots.

I'm using an Athlon XP 1800+ at the moment. However, I'm planning on upgrading to a 2400+ sometime towards the end of January (or maybe a 2600+, if the price has come down by then).
