I would like to get a PC emulator for my Windows 98 SE 150Mhz Pentium PC (soon to have Windows ME) with 96 MB ram. I want to run Old Oses such as run OS/2 2.1 MS-DOS Windows 3.1, etc. but my 40GB hard drive is one barrier, as well as the fact that my newer video card only come with windows 9x/me/2000/nt/xp drivers... No win 3.1 or OS/2 also I upgrading to Windows ME really soon, maybe tommorrow. So I will no longer have the ability to boot to dos mode. Already tried Bochs, way too slow took 2 hours just to set up dos 6.22.

Windows ME is the biggest piece of crap Microsoft ever produced. 150 Mhz is too slow for Windows 2000 so do yourself a favor and stick with 98.

You can boot into dos MODE on ME with a patch or appropriate boot disk.
Even into OS2 MODE with an OS2 boot disk.
