Athlon XP 1800+ is not that too slow. I would think it would work in
dosbox. I am using Win 98SE. You could try increasing the cycles to
16000 like I did and see if your Dos games would work. At 3000 cycles
which is the default, Pandora ran very slow and sound all broken up, but
at 16000, the sound is much improved, with just a little breakup, and
the game runs quite well. But if you are satisfied with the way things
are, thats OK.
BTW, are you the Mick who took part in some discussions I had once about
Realms of the Haunting? or is that another Mick?
