Hi,
awkwardly enough, I decided that I wanted to relive the days of MS-DOS Gaming. Nostalgic huh? So, I got my old PC together, with MS-DOS 6.22, only to find I need a new CPU, and because my processor's pins were crushed over the years. Anyways, I have a Socket 370 Intel socket. I found on eBay for less then $5 a Pentium III 1.0ghz and 700mhz. Scrolling down farther I found Celeron 366 and 400mhz processors. I know that they are too fast for older games, but I heard that is you disable the L2 or L1 cache in bios, the CPU may act to be around 30-60mhz, which is above perfect, but closer. Even if that fails, I will get Mo'Slo.... A application in DOS that allows the user to change the clock down to around 4mhz- ~ 30mhz, or whatever needed. I also have 512mb of ram (alot I know, haha). I would like to run games from early 1990's to ~1998. (~1993-1998). More specifically, I want to run games like:
*Doom 1/2
*Fallout
*Civilization
*Jones in the Fast Lane
*Oregon Trail
*Warcraft
*ETC
Thanks for the help!
