Oh, doom does not require fp, its integer only and on 100MHz Pentium it 
was very smooth!  I did couple of hour-long doom sessions on one of our 
FreeBSD routers while waiting for a bug to regenerate itself in one of 
our pops some time around 1996 :)

The last I checked Soekris boards were using more power.  We use similar 
boards from pcengines.ch for wireless routers.  This application I am 
working on needs a computer with VGA and sound interfaces.
