YMF262 is OPL3 - most non-Creative ISA cards had these. On the Creative side, only their SBPro 2.0 and early SB16/Awe32 has it. Creative opted for an awful sounding "Creative FM Synth" for subsequent models of Awe32, 16, and newer sound cards. This has some awful treble, saws, missing polyphony and …

Audigy 1's awful, why not have an Audigy 2? That's like Creative's best PCI card ever. Good luck finding a good model of those though as Creative likes to water down and sell out crappy models after the release of a newer inferior product

Using Timidity++ as the current MIDI device for DOSBox on Windows could yield some slow results especially with games like Castles II. 🙁

well for one thing, a 6800 is an entire generation ahead - an equivelant would be radeon x600-850. They also have massive heat issues. Nvidia doesn't really have an equivelant card for the 9800 because their own GeforceFX series, which was supposed to be that card's competitor, was slower than their …

i'd say the Radeon. I had bad BSOD experiences with the Geforce family on 9x (particularily when it doesn't even set the video mode properly to display a standard text-mode bsod, leading me to a permanent black screen)

really slow? i'm having happy times playing quake2 on 486 😀 can't play ff7 though because ff7config uses a tls instruction to get cpu speed and because of that it crashes (wcpuid, cpuz and dxdiag also crash for doing that)
