I don't have much knowledge about the components of the computer, so I was wondering if what I have at the moment is good enough to use Dosbox with. More specifically, what sort of cycles, settings and soforth should I be able to achieve?

Processor - x86 family GenuineIntel ~2793 Mhz
Total physical memory - 1024 MB
OS - Windows XP home edition
Graphics card - Nvidia GeForce FX 5900 Ultra
Hard drive - 180 GB

I also link to internet and printer via a network.
Thanks.

That's a good system for running DOSBox. If you have updated video drivers, you should be able to easily reach 30000 cycles (give or take) using the dynamic core and a recent CVS build.

With this machine, Dosbox will not only run but also run smooth enough to play demanding games, win 3.x and apply graphics filters.

Note that this applies only to software that has no general issues with current dosbox versions.

You will be happy with this.
