You might have to put a bit of effort to get the stuff in upper memory.
especially if the game really needs a lot from the basic 640kB
It also depends on the type of memory these games require. there are EMS and XMS. and you can also give command to reserve only part of memorry as EMS.
as for the graphics card - you might need some basic dos drivers for it to be propperly recognised. the cyruss logic we had at home had them. maybe there are some generic ones, although it's a bit strange the WIN98 didn't put them in...
i think abandonia boot disk is quite usefull on such a maschine.
oh and remembe that from time to time you will need moslo to make the game work. the game might give memory errors simply because it's running too fast.
but you are good for later games such as all those fancy dos "3D" ones. and with win98 you can run zdoom as well (for some impoved doom graphics). maybe even Jdoom for osme cool openGL in doom.
as for any specific games that need tweaking you can follow most DOSbox instructions on site (except that mounting is not necessary).
A word of advice when posting in troubleshooting - it will be easier to get help if oyu write down the exact errorr messages. you might even want to google them and find the answer like that even faster.
