dipo- first of all, for the newer processor you'd need a newer motherboard to stick it into. and with newer mother board comes lack of some ports, like ps2 or the old printer thingy, so careful with that. also, if i were you, i'd pick one with ISA port for a sound card.

if you have dual core, the dos will ignore the other core. and 64 bit processors have different addressing, i don't know how would that affect dos. the processor should be compatible with 386 so it can run in protected mode but i dunno, i'm pretty sure programmers did use some tricks wich'd fail at newer architectures. i'd rather pick something between 400mhz-1ghz. and NOT AMD, AMDs sucked back then
