    As long as you have a FAT32 partition on which to put your games, you caould boot with a DOS floppy and run them. Best DOS to use would be the one that comes with win98 versions. Lots of my old DOS games run in w2k, but many of them want to directly control the sound card, which w2k won't permit - there's a program (called SoundFX, I believe) that solves this little problem. But simpler, all in all, to boot with a DOS floppy. There's also a great little program called UMBPCI, which enables loading of device drivers and TSRs into upper memory without running EMM386,EXE, the DOS espanded memory manager - great for the Ultima games, which won't run if EMM386 is loaded.
