When I was a kid we had a 386-33MHz with 4MB RAM, it ran Doom at about 1-2FPS. Upgraded to a 486 DX (66MHz I think?) and 8MB RAM and it ran great on that. It's possible that the 386 would have been fine if we put more RAM in though, I think the biggest issue was swapping.
Set it to low quality and hit Ctrl+Minus until the window is the size of a postage stamp and it's buttery smooth.
