Sorry Davros, my eyes play tricks on me...😀 Anyway, as i've said, for Dos games i will use DosBox.

Devros: If a use 1:1 scaling, the picture will be too small for my taste and i will also get black bars around it. Only a "keep aspect ratio and stretch it to full screen" option would help, with resolutions like 640x480 on a 1600x1200 screen. I will still get black bars, but it will be minimal.

HunterZ , thx for the info, didn't know about the multiple thing. So if the native resolution of the screen is an integer multiple of the resolution of the game, than the image of the game won't get blured? Cool. Dominus : Yes, old windows games, most of them 2D. For Dos games i plan to use DosBox …

(Old games = games that run only in 640x480 or 800x600) I want to buy a second LCD monitor just for my retro pc (i don't want a CRT) and i need it to be in 4:3 or 5:4 format only (i don't like black bars or stretched image), so my only options are: 15" (1024x768), 17" (1280x1024), 19" (1280x1024) …

If i could just find a mobo with AGP for Core2 and Win 98 support, that will be great. After a little bit of searching, i found one: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=775i65G&s=775 :happyhappy: It has drivers for Win98 and supports Core 2 Extreme CPUs. Maybe i will do a thread at retropc …

Believe me, i've tried 2 or 3. 🙁 It was the most elegant solution, but it doesn't work for all games. Or maybe there is some virtualizer that i don't know and works for all games...😕 If i could just find a mobo with AGP for Core2 and Win 98 support, that will be great.

Most old win games won't work in a VirtualPC. For example i've tried Carmageddon 2, and it doesn't work. Some games work, some not, so it's not 100% compatibility.

Ok, i understand...Thx for letting me know. Any chance i could find out a motherboard for core2 that still has Win98 drivers? 🙁

I was left with the impression that for DosBox only the GHz matter; the higher, the better. If i run DosBox on a Core2, only one core gets used, the other one sits at ~0%. And for all i know, the best Core2 Quad is at ~3200GHz (don't know about i7). That's why i was thinking at the Pentium 4, …

Hi, I've searched the forums, read the DosBox FAQ, but didn't find what i was looking for. I've read somewhere that DosBox doesn't support multi core CPUs, so a single core, very fast (MHz) CPU, is preferable to a quad core, slow (MHz) CPU. Right? As far as i know, the last single core CPU was …
