All,
Been putting this together and almost have it complete to get back to updating my game compatibility list since emulation or virtualization is nowhere near where it's needed to be. Just waiting on a new processor and heatsink to upgrade the Q6600.

Incompatible DOS games and 9x games (video\speed) will be use in pcem or DOSBox on this machine or my 6700k.
Windows 10 DVD/gparted will be used for partitioning for early OS.
Rloew patches will likely be used for Windows 9x.
1x PCI slot currently free with above card configuration.
I was wondering if there is anything else that I am missing for broad compatibility for 9x+? Not really worried about one off games since pcem can currently or will handle those in the future.
Loaded up Gears 5 a day ago on Windows 10 and was playable around 25-30fps @ 1920x1200 with everything on max. Q6600 @ 2.4hz was at 100% on all four cores the entire time and dropping the settings didn't do much. heh.
