Hi guys, i have a question, if i turn more speed in dosbox (ctrl + f12) can i burn my processor? I see that if i turn more speed my processor is using by 90%-100% (by dosbox speed 7000-8000). I have Athlon XP 2000+... So can dosbox burn processor by increasing speed?

no...the processor cannot be damaged by dosbox (unless you have insufficient cooling 😀), but sound will stutter when you set the cycles too high. 7000-8000 seems a bit low for athlon 2000, make sure you use dynamic core.
