Here's how to run Duke 3D in DosBox instead of eDuke and still not have lag, for you purists out there:
Go to your Duke 3D folder (usually C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Duke Nukem 3D\ ) and find the file titled dosboxDuke32.conf
Open this file up in notepad, and find
memsize=16
and replace it with
memsize=64
This changes the amount of RAM DosBox allocates. DosBox will read up to 63 Megs of memory total.
This fix is actually pretty universal in most laggy DosBox games, for example, you don't stand a snowballs chance in hell playing any of the free Elder Scrolls games with only 16 megs of RAM.
