That is open to discussion. From my own experience, I'd say that DosBox emulates a card with 1 MB of RAM.

You can create for every game a custom .conf file. And if i remember right you had configure problems in old dos too. Not every game runs with the same settings. And i think you are faster with a .conf file instead of making every time a boot-disc.

Yeah I have the same problem with dos box now that I am trying to play more than I used to with WinXP because back with 98 it was no trouble so it does get annoying.

Sounds neat!
So what kind of stuff would I put in these .conf files and how do I assign the various files to the various games so that DOSBox knows which one to use?

I have the same question as Henning. But I also wonder if it is hard as in you have to rewrite every config file for every sperate game and do you have to do much.

Use multiple shortcuts to DosBox executable and command line options to make them use different config files.
You can use that to run specific games or simply start DosBox with a different configuration.
