You're talking about running DOS games inside of a Windows' DOS box and not from within DOS 7.1 (reboot to DOS option), right?

Yeah, that's right - hoping to avoid having to re-boot. Maybe some later DOS games will work like Duke Nuken 3D, Star Wars Darkforces and etc. Hoping someone can recommend some others.

Well, I think, most of late DOS games will work like that, actually. If you're into shooters — definitely everything based on Doom (Heretic, Hexen) or Duke Nukem (Blood, Shadow Warrior, Redneck Rampage, Witchhaven). Also, Terminator: Future Shock/Skynet.

Thanks! I'm a big Terminator fan, will check out Future Shock/Skynet.

If you really want to punish that DOS system, check out the Quake II source port for DOS:

As it has been said, practically all "late" (1995 onwards) and most earlier games will work. The earlier the game, the more chance that it doesn't like Windows or fast CPUs.

just wanted to say thats a pretty awesome build, the last one in your sig, i just got a P3B-F v1.04 running a p3 1ghz 133fsb, 2x256mb pc-133, and a geforce3, seems to be a nice combo so far, i scored 9172 in 3dmark 2000

Thanks, you can see pics of it under the "system specs" forum under oldskool2. It was a PITA getting the parts (Asus board was costly) but it runs like a dream.

You notice that much of a difference running a 133fsb cpu and memory? Didn't know the mobo could handle it but guess it's fine.
