Probably not unless you run them at minimum detail. Running TES: Arena at high-ish detail taxes my Athlon XP 3200+ a fair amount.

You'll just have to try and see.

I've got that one and I can assure you that you can't run doom era games well.
With dynamic core and everything I'd say I can get close to my old 386 sx 33 but not more.

Play Doom games with the DoomsDay engine. NOT DosBox.

Hmmm. DoomsDay. COOL. 😎

Oh Noes !11!1!1111!!!!!!!!!!
I can't run yo bitchin Quake on me Dosbox, and I wanna run me some interweb, some crappy program that talks to a microwave thru a com port.

Oh noes, the sarcasm.

Of course, there's absolutely no other way of running Doom, is there. 🙄

I want Dosbox to do my hoovering, shag my mates misses, do the ironing, and do the shopping.

Damn you Dosbox for being such shite

Damn this forum for being full of morons.

There you have it, Ladies & Gentlemen: CraigG's "Rant of the Day"

I think the original poster was only using Doom as an example of the level of complexity of games he was thinking of trying to run...

On a 800mhz with games that use fast moving graphics the answer is a resounding NO! They should run just fine on the host computer tho.

I can only repeat What I Did Last Summer. It was a PentiumII 300MHz. Forget all action games, hope you have a decent audio chip (yamaha, soundblaster, definitely not onboard sound) that doesn't steal half of your CPU power, live with a sluggish mouse (because of frameskip 10 or even 20), and then enjoy any game that's left for such a scenario. Which are quite a lot - just no doom, quake, blood etc.

It _is_ possible to run games (even demanding ones) in dosbox on low-end computers, just not action games, and of course a little bit sluggish - yet IMHO it was still an enjoyable experience.

Sometimes that is easier than setting up a dos/windows installation and struggling with drivers, vdmsound, memory, and whatnot.
