You should have dumped windows.

I played doom II with 4MB on a 386DX40. We had a DOS 6 boot menu to not load smartdrv. It ran good enough, except on the last level, where all the different enemy types caused all their graphics to be loaded at the same time. That was too much, and caused severe disk trashing (not swapping, DOOM managed the disk on its own).

doom used less memory, so it should have been good enough.
