So far we have one vote for DOSBox and one for an older machine. I'm interested that you prefer 9x to XP.
I currently have 15 machines running in my home: 1 Win-95 2 Win-98 SE 2 Win-XP Home 6 Win-XP Pro 1 Win-Vista Ultimate 64-bit 1 Win-7 Pro 32-bit 1 Win-7 Pro 64-bit 1 Win-8.1 64-bit
All of the older ones are in storage at the moment (and they all still function).
And I still prefer running the good old DOS version of FractInt under my Win-98 SE systems. A bit slower, but less hassles with trying to get it to run on anything else.
My experience with W98Se and DOS Fractint was back in the days when I was dualbooting OS/2 and Windows 98SE. DOS Fractint would run flawlessly under OS/2. Under W98SE, the machine would freeze. I never confirmed this, but I believe it was because W98SE and Fractint were fighting over the display. Linux is much simpler. -- David W.
