This forum is for getting DOS games working in modern computers. Please ask hardware questions in Marvin. There is already a thread there which is related to your inquiry where you can post your question.
Was AC'97 Support on DOS ever figured out?

I read that nothing really technical there.

How do you clasify modern computer? I see there lots of question from PhilComputersLab, here is using much more ancient stuff thant i have.

That's a good question, and I don't think I can give you a firm answer*. However, sometimes inverting the question and asking "How do you classify a computer as not modern?" makes things easier. For example, AC'97 was supplanted by HDA some time ago, so I think the system you're asking about is a bit less than fresh.

Try Marvin. I think you'll like it.

* Even if I had any official standing on this forum beyond being a regular scrum, which I do not.

It's really more "modern operating systems" than anything else, originally anything that was NT-based. Like running games in Windows XP's NTVDM. It was all vastly simplified by emulators like DOSBox, but when this forum was created, DOSBox had not been around all that long, and also had a steep performance hit, so there were still many people trying to run DOS games "natively" in the NTVDM.
