Very happy found the RAMs maybe the best you can buy for the socket

Wth SIS chipset, any common DDR400 memory from reliable brand will do, since it will work just fine at DDR333 speed on CL2 timings.

SB Audigy 2 ZS Gold

Might as well install Aureal Vortex 2 for A3D 2.0 support in Win9x environment.

Any suggestions? I see the Diamond MX300.
Thank you!

Yes, MX300 is an obvious choice.

Sis 645/dx unofficially supports ddr400. With the same board i managed 192/384 i was overclocking a pentium-b/533 2.8 and 3.06. The secret sauce to a sis645/dx is to run a high multi p4-a/400fsb and try to stay before 133fsb/533. Because for some reason when you use 533 fsb that memory divider it uses tends to take a hit somewhat in bandwidth i noticed. Like it loosens up the timing/sub timings. These were my findings like with a p4-533 i managed mid 2800mb/s scores in mem. I still think the key is pentium 4-a.

thats one point i choose this corsair RAM. i read a benchmark from tomshardware where exact this ram was one of few able to run ddr400 with cl2 . It was also the fastest ram on benchs. I will see when the parts arrive.

Real nice build
The Vortex 2 will give you A3d 2.0 and but only gives you EAX 1.0 (or 2.0 if you use driver version 2.048)
For EAX 3.0 and above you'll need a Creative card but this will only give you A3D 1.0 your 2 ZS is the best choice on this side of things.
Neither card is that great and emulating the others technology.

Ends up been a case of pick your poison.
Not my list but this shows each games support

Thanks for the Info. Is it no possible to use the mx300 and the 2ZS in one system?

Today i got the Asus TFT. First tests with My Dos rig:

70Hz with IPS on Dos

Sorry if this sounds like nitpicking, but the points below are worth knowing about, IMHO. However, they may not bother you, in part or at all.

a)
70Hz input support, at least over VGA, is a given for backwards compatibility reasons, however not all monitor actually display 70Hz (frameskip) and not necessarily on all inputs (VGA vs HDMI). AFAIU, your monitor is capable of up to 75Hz ( both input and display), at least over HDMI .

b)
That monitor does not have a 4:3 mode that works for 640x400 (320x200 line doubled by VGA card), so most VGA DOS games will be stretched horizontally.

c)
Are you bothered by the fact this monitor, like practically all TFTs, samples 640x400 (320x200 line doubled by VGA card) ? An example of the effect of this can be seen in the uneven with of the lettering on Doom's HUD (bottom right).

If point a) is an issue (might not be, might not bother you if it is), an OSSC can address it.
Point c) can also be fixed by an OSSC .

Point b) is not fixable by an OSSC. An Extron RGB DVI 300 (or its HDMI version) will fix b) and c) but will force 60Hz, add a little latency and not be as sharp as an OSSC

See Re: Purchasing a 4:3 LCD for DOS/DOSBOX/MISTER/OSSC games? for more info on that monitor

Good points. Yes i will try it with an ossc. I tryed serval 4:3 TFTs but i dont like old used Panels any more. My Dell ultrasharp 2007FP dies after 2 month, ok unlucky. Than i bought new old stock HP LP2065 4:3. The panel was damaged after delivery, more unlucky.. Anyway the Panel is more for the win98se build here focus on 1600x1200. I can live with the borders than.
