IF ! Check their forum before install, if you do. "Windows 9x is not officially supported by VirtualBox team, which means, that it lacks Guest VM Additions, and it runs slowly, because VirtualBox is not optimized to run Win 9x" yeh i tried on a pentium 4 at work = horrible runs well on my overclocked i3 though i actually have a windows 98se pc i got from ebay for £10, with a voodoo 3 500mhz p3, an old sb128 and 256mb ram which runs beauitufully, but this mini project is for playing games whilst watching tv with family i'm very much tempted to go down the dos 6.22 and 3.11 route, maybe 95? still haven't had time to fish it out of loft again to resume work the other day i had a go on freedos on virtualbox, and it ran all the dos games i threw at it quite well, and it can boot the os with neatly 700kb free conventional memory on a boot menu which make life easy.... but other than floppy drive id have no way of getting games on there since the cd drive is truly gone and i dont want to spend money on the exact same cd drive which would be hard to comeby :s hmmm possibly a pcmcia network or a xircom if one pops up on uk ebay
