IMO, at least. I finally set up my older PC to be a legacy system.
Dell Dimension XPS T550, (originally a 550MHz PIII).
1GHz PIII
256mb RAM (not upgrading it due to compatibility issues with DOS/Win 3.x)
32mb nVidia TNT2 Riva Model 64 AGP
Creative Soundblaster AWE64 ISA
Turtle Beach Montego II PCI (AU8830)
DVD-ROM
8.5GB HD, split into two partitions: 2GB FAT16, 6.5GB NTFS
60GB HD, NTFS
MS-DOS 6.22/Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 98 on the 2GB FAT16
Windows NT4 Workstation on the 6.5GB NTFS
Windows XP Pro on the 60GB, with 38GB of music.

I have been meaning to set up a computer like this for almost 2 years. I have finally done it! :D Just something I'd like to share with you guys.

nice job man :)

There's only one problemo i have here
6.5GB NTFS
60GB HD, NTFS

this limit's 3.11/98 to 2 gigs of room, thats not much leisure space.
i have a 120GB and a 40gb drive, both are in FAT32 for 9x compatibility
though i may switch them over to NTFS, 9x is horribly unstable on this machine.

Windows 3.11 and DOS are just there for fun. :D
98 can read the NTFS with the Sysinternals NTFS reader.
