I got the old office computer from my mom. It's a 386DX-25. I paired it with a SoundBlaster Pro 2.0 and a ET4000AX and planned to use it as a gaming rig for early DOS gaming to around ~1993. I already tried Wing Commander II and StarTrek 25th Anniversary and well... they don't play that nice. Cutscenes are a slideshow and WC2 is sluggish during gameplay. I did a benchmark test with CheckIt 3 and got 3854 Dhrystones. The motherboard doesn't seem to have cache.
So I wondered: Does it even make sense to use this as a gaming rig? Or is my Pentium 233 that I use for late DOS gaming sufficient? What do you think?
Games on my list for the 386:
