I do have a P166 setup with a Voodoo 2 but I rarely use it anymore since DOSBox became so much more useful. I know some people want an authentic experience but aside from some minor differences in the music, DOSBox is pretty much 100% authentic when you play the game itself.

Yeah, Old PCs could be a pain in the ass when it comes to hardware! But! Old PCs are useful, in DOS Gaming!
My Win98 laptop can run most DOS games, and win95 games perfecto just about!
But DOSbox isn't as good for my main PC since it isn't that powerful, 233 MB Ram 32 MB 3D acellator gfx built-in card, 2.66 GHz processor, not really top-notch, it runs BlooD very jerky!
But thats why my win98 is there, so i can play it with top-speed!
