Yes, I did. It did help but didn't seem to be quite enough for me. I'm
using an Athlon Thunderbird 1400MHz, for reference. I suppose that it
should be fast enough for some of the older games that I have to run in
DOSBox. Perhaps not. I suppose that more experimentation is in order.

That's cool. It seems to me that DOSBox could prove useful beyond games
too. If one had an old DOS application that was needed to read some old
data, etc.
