Very cool ideas.. Just a note: I have an another PC for DOS gaming. This box will only be for Windows 95 Applications (Video editing, 3D animation) and Windows 95 gaming.

Thanks a lot for your reply and the links. I'm going to read them further. I can get, instead of Trio 3D/2X AGP, a Savage4, exactly this card; http://www.512bit.net/s3/s3_savage4_lt.html So if you'll have to select one, which one would you prefer for MS-DOS gaming? (Performance/Compatibility) Best. …

Quick question: Would you, Vogons gurus recommend S3 Trio 3D/2X 4 MB AGP card for DOS gaming? Any issue/trouble with it? Hugs.

Thanks everyone, great suggestions. While we're at it, is it really safe to directly turn of the computer, when the hdd is running under MS-DOS? I mean, no safe shutdown way for the sake of HDD health?

Hello. I have an Intel Pentium MMX - 200 Mhz computer with this motherboard: https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/pcchips-m537dma33 I wonder if I could check my CPU's temperature in DOS? BIOS doesn't provide this info. So any tool, any clue? Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the bump, but I do need that too (well, for many retro computers of mine actually), including -5V support.. Is there anyone that could suggest me a link to buy it? Any clue?

It seems I will need to test it with an another motherboard.. Well, if I could find some. Regarding the motherboard revision, the asus page says "ALL" I don't really think that's the main case.. 😒 (And since BIOS version 0604)

Could that be due to the circled bottom of the CPU on the picture? It's Rev. 1.00G.

Thanks for your reply, if you mean the onboard GPU, I already have an AGP card connected to the board and monitor. Is there anything I should do further, for that?

Truly useful and informative posts here, thank you all! My CT4830 will soon arrive, in the photo above, the one on top is the same model that I ordered. My question is, is it possible to have it working under pure DOS (not 'Restart to DOS')?

Good points, gen_angry, thanks. Never thought CPU's FSB would limit DDR's speed. I can easily find a CPU with 800 Mhz FSB or even thinking to have Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66 Ghz 1066 Mhz FSB. So in that case, would DDR run full speed (400 Mhz)?
