@Gammitin fantastic Duke 3D framerates

@Gammitin I remember these being launched. A true bombshell with an enormous impact in the market after Intel's 33MHz increments every few months.. 700.. 733.. 766.. KABOOM! ONE.FREAKING.THOUSAND.MEGAHERTZ!

@Gammitin I promise I'm not trying to dampen your enthusiasm, as I share it, but I just hope you have a lot of spare capacitors on hand. I lost many a great machine of that era to the plague.

@Gammitin so many good memories. I can smell the dusty, hot-silicon of it even now.
