Boochs Vs DosBox

I've only tried DosBox thus far, and on most games, I find it to be terribly buggy. Expecially, 6.1 which won't even run on my WinMe computer.

I was just wondering if anyone out there has tried bochs, and could tell me if its any better at running old programs. It might not, but it at least looks interesting.

I haven't tried bochs either, but their doom screenshot looks screwed up.
dosbox unstable? really? I had no trouble with it so far. what games are you trying to run?

Why use either? You can boot into true DOS on WinME once you have "unhidden" it. See this site. Once you have activated your DOS, you might want to check out this page too.
