So how does DOS 6.22 work with your games?  Surely you haven't wasted the
money and upgraded your OS to a Windows version...

  I have 98SE.  It came pre-installed...:)
   My point is...folks are running out and buying XP with the 'idea' that it
is an upgrade.  While I appreciate the improvements in XP I just don't think
spending $$ on an OS is as beneficial as upgrading hardware.
(btw..I'm building an old P166 into a Rendition box for ICR2 3d...I WILL
NEED dos6.22 for that.)
  Looking at the features of XP,  I don't see anything that would compel me
to need it.  I have SE fairly stable, I have full compatibility, and I have
older hardware.  Throwing 1 or 2 hundred bucks into replacing an OS that
works just fine would cripple any improvements I could purchase in the cpu
or video card areas.  (since I have very little cash)    XP is NOT a bad
thing...it's just not a great investment if you are looking at improving
*** performance.
I know I sound like the stone age...but give me bleeding fast cpu's over
another version of windows anyday.

It is....to the OS.

Hardware is always advancing, so I guess you will 'never' upgrade your
OS then. :)

Not 'yet'. I did dual boot for this reason alone.

Me too, but I get tired of the BSOD and instability. It wasn't often,
but enough.
