DOSBox also emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics, a SoundBlaster/Gravis Ultra Sound card for excellent sound compatibility with older games...

teceem: System Shock runs slow because DOSbox emulates a relatively slow CPU... NOT because a modern CPU can't handle the emulation.
DOSBox with an Core i5 4.0 GHz Host CPU, <span class="bold">could emulate an Pentium III 500 MHz</span>.

The protected mode was introduced since 286, not means DOSBox can only emulate a 286/386 machine.
It will become slower in an ARM CPU, but performance is not a big problem.

That makes more sense! :-D (a 386 would be the bare minimum for SS1)
So any PC with at least a Pentium III can run the original SS1 in Dosbox (well). For 1280 resolution - a C2D should be able to do it?
