Does anyone know if it's possible to dual boot ms dos 6 and windows 98? I have read that I would need to have an FAT16 partition for DOS.
Yes as long as your motherboard has a boot-time boot menu(commonly on F12, you board may vary), you can install DOS6 to one drive and Win98 to another and boot to one or the other during the POST sequence.

Beyond that, the post above by @jak_2456 seems a good option to.

I guess that it's "enough 486" for the BIOS to report it as such.

Did you guys have a 750 Ti? I had one only for a while as a backup back in 2017 when I sold my 970 SLI setup and I got the 750 Ti from my friend.

I have a Quadro card that performs near to a 750ti. It's kinda inbetween a 750 and a 750ti. It's a great Windows XP card.
I have a 750Ti, I should bench it too, but I think the one @lexluthermiester is talking about is the Quadro K1200 - bloody fantastic XP card, especially being a 45w LP part you can make a very efficient system. It's basically a slightly cut down 750Ti so I should compare them to see how big the difference is.

Looks like that Quadro has 750's shader and other unit count, but higher clocks and 4GB of GDDR5.

Wonder how a K2200 would perform vs. 750 Ti since it has the full GPU but also 4GB of VRAM.
