I don't use that one anymore. The problem wasn't what type of slot it was the number of slots. It is one of those desktop models that sat under the monitor (not a tower) and only had two slots. Unfortunately not everything was built onto the motherboard like it is today. I had video on the motherboard and network in one slot and a combination modem/sound card in the other. The combo card was crap. Kept locking the system with interrupt conflicts.

I much prefer the 486 for DOS gaming.
