Torn between the Dimension 8200 and an Athlon XP as my AGP box... what was originally going to be my "best of the rest" build but now demoted further - maybe an XP / 98 dual boot (and down to fast DOS from 98), though I have something else that would make a better XP setup.
The GPU choice is a Ti4200 (DX8) or a 9800 Pro (DX9) - not sure if I could get away with either on the Dell PSU.
Ideally, one, or at most two systems to cover any of the old games I dredge up - the DOS stuff, I don't remember as including any of the notoriously speed sensitive things, plus some 9x stuff and anything else that would be problematic on my daily driver.
If I need slower, I do have an uncertain condition 486DX4 (VLB) or a P75 (onboard S3 Trio)
Soundcards, got some SB PCI / SB Live, and my first ever, SB16 MCD (with the next to useless ASP chip and a non-name wavetable DB) - I know that's the one that would get me furthest in DOS.
