I had a 386sx@25MHz too and I don’t remember it being that slow. Unless that demo has the detail cranked up to high or something like that. Although, like that first commenter I had a math co-processor, so maybe that helped.
Or maybe my memory is off and I made the window tiny.
Realistically, what can you use this for that’s worthwhile?
Cool looking device though.
You could play Wolfenstein?
But realistically, I could see this being helpful if you maintain a lot of legacy gear and need to drag around something reliable to test with.
You could relive booting up your computer at breakfast to get it ready to use by lunchtime.
Retro gaming?
40MHz is plenty for doom.
Ew, no. Even 386DX-40 is terrible for Doom:
Doom timedemo 386 DX 40 MHz DOS PC
486SX-33 is certainly playable, but you really want 486DX2/66:
Doom Timedemo - 486DX2/66MHz
Edit: grammar
Edit 2: These videos are accurate, btw. I upgraded from 386SX-25 to 486SX-33 just for Doom while my friend got the 486DX2/66 Packard Bell. Envy.
Edit 3: My memory forced me to go back and properly designate the models.
