First, Windows ME will not work with DOS, secondly, the described computer will be a snail with WinME. Stay with Win98, or even better, Win95. In my shop I won't even put Win98 on a system this slow.

1. I know dos doesn't work with ME that is the whole point behind the 80x86 PC emulator, in essence run a virtual computer inside a window that I can install MS-DOS or OS/2 on. !!!!! 2. ME minimum requirements are 150 mhz pc w 32 mb ram. 3. I like ME better!!! I got ME to run (BARELY) on a 75mhz pc using the /nm switch. 5. OS/2 2.1 doesn't work well with 40GB drives and MS-dos doesn't at all.
