By the way, not kidding about it not running Doom - this thing barely manages 15 FPS on E1M1! Probably the onboard video chip's fault.

given the craptiva spec, the said Y2K machine could be one of those lousy 'internet PCs' that are just built only for running IE5 slowly (Think lowly Celeron 600s with 32MB with a small form factor), unprepared for the mass of flash/javascript banners/ads to follow a year after.

64 MB was, in fact, the smallest stick of memory I had available that the motherboard would take - coincidentally, it's also the largest amount it will allow. I suppose it's not bad for spare parts, and if there's any real problems with excessive RAM, I can always waste it by spawning a couple of ramdisks.given the craptiva spec, the said Y2K machine could be one of those lousy 'internet PCs' that are just built only for running IE5 slowly (Think lowly Celeron 600s with 32MB with a small form factor), unprepared for the mass of flash/javascript banners/ads to follow a year after.
I do have a weird old Compaq sitting in the other room, I think ~2002 or 2003 vintage - it only has PCI slots, and is running some kind of Celeron with onboard graphics. I have not yet even booted it up. I'm considering preemptively nuking it and putting Win2K on it, assuming I can find drivers for that, but the real hurdle is going to be that video hardware - I don't have any PCI 3D accelerator cards lying around.

Call super.tick() twenty times in a row.

This is one of the things that is called an "undefined behavior". If it's not possible to predict what it will do then depending on this behavior is sure to lead your mod to being broken somewhere down the line - often sooner than later. Another example of undefined behavior is actively exploiting a bug in order to make the engine do what it was not designed to do to achieve a certain effect.
