..........
Pentium 3 733MHz CPU
-> totall overkill
256MB PC133 RAM @ 100MHz
-> total overkill, but *shouldn't* hurt as MSDos only uses 64Mb, though some older games will choke on that speed.
Gigabyte ga-6vxc7-4x motherboard (with ISA slot!)
-> can do
Vibra 16 CT2260 (OEM CT2230) ISA soundcard (IRQ 7 - DMA 1,5)
-> nice but ....***
ATI Rage Ultra 128 AGP (running at 1x AGP)
-> total overkill
Two HDDs (one 10GB and one 40GB)
-> 2 Gb partitions for Dos??? What a waste of space (clustersize !!!!!!)
I am dual booting DOS 6.22 with enhanced tools
-> get rid of those 'enhanced tools, only gives compability troubles with older dosgames. Eventually make a dosbootmenu with different configs...
II have tried the "-sb" and "-gv" switches with no success.
*** -> Think you should set soundcard IRQ to 5, many older games expect it to be 5, the IRQ 7 was used later....
I use "slowdown.com" to eat up CPU.
-> And another TSR running on the background ... :/

You hardly can say you even can get "the real experience again" on such PC -(talking MSDos here of course, not W98)-, you probably would get a better feel of a "real experience" on VPC/MSDos or even dosbox .... you can boot MSDos in dosbox ... did you knew that?
