Unfortunately they don't seem to be interested to extend emulation to newer CPUs.

I know, it now works but VERY slow. E.g. my map tracking sw in djgpp runs on real HW over 100FPS in 1280x1024/32 (same for DOSEMU, dgVoodoo under XP) and only 0.25FPS in DOSBOX. Also games like Blood, Duke and some later DOS demos etc runs not very fast in DOSBOX even on Core 2 Duo. Maybe if it can utilize 2 or more cores it would run better.

I use DOSBOX from CVS builds http://ykhwong.x-y.net/cvs/frame.html
it's more updated.

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
