Alexander,

I run a Pentium II 300Mhz with 128 MB's of ram and am more than happy
with the speed under Windows 98.  You have to realise that eventually
there won't be DOS support anymore and everything will be running
under a GUI.

In fact I would say a good 90%+ of users are now using some form of
GUI whether it be Win31/95/98/NT or Unix/Linux/X-Windows.

DOS can't be supported forever - Microsoft certainly no longer
supports DOS.

Cheers,
Sean.
