Never believe 100% backwards compatibility. It just doesn't happen.

I know for a fact that certain games bug out at 32.
Personally, I'd say that nobody should build a machine meant to run both DOS and Windows 98 games.

DOS/Windows 95 is a different beast - 200 mHz CPU, 24 MB RAM, a 1 - 2 GB HDD and a 2 MB graphics card will be perfectly fine. Soundblaster 16 or Pro 2 (depends on personal preference)

For Windows 98 I'd recommend somewhere around 128 - 256 MB RAM, 4 - 40 GB HDD (depending on what do you want to install there), and a 500 - 800 mHz CPU. 4 to 8 MB graphics card, and you'll probably want a Voodoo 3D accelerator (or two) in there as well.
