Well, best point I see to run games on real dos is very strong: midi wavetables. Old Midi sounds all way different than today's does. Play Sim City, 2000 LBA(Relentless) or any other game with really great midi music from a win95 platform and you'll see my point. I think Soundblasters guys hasn't changed a lot their midi, but even with their soundboards, music isn't the same.

Got to config a PIII 486Mhz to run some games with native DOS from win98. Nice Experience. Long hours of Transport Tycoon.

My DOSBox frequently crashes when I run other tasks with heavy processment, or even not so heavy, like Firefox or screensavers. Ok, it runs 99,9% games, and I don't think it's possible to run, e. g. Lotus in DOS 6, and you'll not have to worry about sound drivers, mouse drivers, hi memory, conventional memory, EMS memory, EMM386, fat, dos mixers, Config.sys, Autoexec.bat, system.ini ... That's why I won't stop using DOSBox. Yet, need to get a good old machine to run some games that deserve it.
