I'm in the process of building a very high-end 486 PCI: 5x86, 512Kb cache, 64 MB RAM, Matrox Mystique or S3 videocard. I can read wiki and google myself, so I'm looking for opinions on running OS/2.
How would OS/2 3.0 work here?
How is it compared to Windows for workgroups 3.1?
How good is it for games, how compatible is it with hardware of the time period?
Will OS/2 have trouble running at low clock? Does it have anything like "MS-DOS mode" in Windows 98?
Will it be able to share files with Windows 98, XP, 7 over network?
The speeds at which I am going to run the system/CPU are as follows:
3x12.5=37.5MHz
4x12.5=50MHz
3x16.5=50MHz
4x16.5=66MHz
3x25=75MHz
4x25=100MHz
3x33=100MHz
4x33=133MHz
3x40=120MHz
4x40=160MHz
3x50=150MHz
Thank you in advance.
