I can't help the impression that you felt my post tried to contradict something you said and then wrote such a long post to disprove what I didn't say. I didn't say a P3 is "best", I said it's "perfectly fine"--in my experience. And "contemporary" does not mean "made long time after producers cared about dos compatibility".

When I talked about compatibility I didn't mean Disney nor Gravis nor any other device I haven't used in my life. I mean that DOSBox runs games that I didn't manage to run neither in my P3 nor in my previous DOS machines of yore, for whatever reason that I don't know.

I see, misunderstanding on my side.

Ok, got it. And agreed, DosBox is more easy without much configuration and driver fiddling.

You sure? Only because of 4 GHZ, 64 bit and quad core? Is it really a difference?

Multicore and x64 architecture are both quite major changes IMO.

Yes, but it has still all old features. So it shouldn't matter?
