Greetings,
It's been years since i've had a DOS/Win 3.x only PC. My main goal is to have an "Ultimate DOS" and early [possibly up to year 2000 perhaps earlier] Win9x gaming rig.
I recently saved a working Pentium III PC from impending doom [was left by the side of the road for trash to pick up]. It works great, it's a Pentium III 550Mhz with 256mb RAM, Windows 98 SE, DVD RW drive, ATI Radeon [32mb AGP 2x], 13GB hard drive and SB Live! PCI soundcard.
Now my question is, is this "too powerful" of a machine for classic DOS and Win 3.x/Win9x gaming? I know games such as One Must Fall 2097 play just way too fast [is there a way to safely temporarily slowdown the CPU?]
My gf told me to just use DOSBox, but in my opinion, emulation [of anything] just doesn't feel right.
Please remember, I only want it mainly for DOS gaming, and from time to time maybe some Win 3.1/Win9x games as well.
Thanks all in advance for your input and/or hardware and software suggestions. 😎
