so i found a free computer out on the curb somebody was getting rid of and i think it would make a good dos/windows gaming pc
here are the specs https://pastebin.com/gS90qZni
only think i have done since using cpu-z to get the specs was add a 2gb ram stick to it and change the onboard video too 512mb
i found a seller selling new old stock ati radeon 7000 64mb for about 8usd including shipping just comes without the box to save on cost of shipping
also wanted to know if i could run windows 98se on this pc and if there was drivers for everything but seeing as the pc is too new i don't think it would be able to run 98se
i remember back in like 2005 or so when my sister gave me a windows xp laptop i remember download lots of dos games and being able to run them fine with out needing dosbox the pc i found is running xp sp3 and most if not all dos games give me errors trying to run them if i got the first release of xp would this fix the problems as i really want to try and avoid using dosbox if possible as my nephew will also be using this computer too and i want it to be simple for him to use
i don't want to run any virtual box in xp either
so what would be things i could do to get this pc running dos and pc games only possibly windows games up to 2003
