Dual Booting (you won't believe this)

Variable · 08-20-2003, 01:56 PM

So I want to build an old school games comp. The games I remember from my gaming youth. Either I can buy a crappy old comp or dual boot this mean machine I have with DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11.

Is this possible? Can you dual boot with such and old operating system? If so, explain for me. I've never dual booted before.

In addition, I'm concerned that certain things may not work. No one made drivers for a GeForce 4 back in 1988. I'm sure I could get simple SVGA compatibility with it. What about the sound card though? The CDROM? Hardly anyone includes/writes DOS based drivers. Thoughts?
