I use VDMSound to run MoM now. It has some really great options including sound card emulation. I am not sure if DosBox allows that?

Sure, actually DosBox even took the sound emulation off an earlier version of VDMSound, over five years ago. DosBox might even emulate more hardware than VDMSound (including the Gravis UltraSound instead of just the SoundBlaster 16), but that shouldn't worry you.

Q. What's the difference between VDMSound and DOSBox?
A. VDMSound only tackles the problem of sound, whereas DOSBox actually mimics an entire 386 PC in software. Therefore, VDMSound is a lot less demanding on your processor's resources, and can be used with lower speed processors. For instance, to run a 3D DOS game like Pandora Directive or System Shock in DOSBox, you need at least a 2GHZ or preferably 3GHZ processor. VDMSound can do it with a 1GHZ processor, though getting the game to work is usually much tricker than with DOSBox.

People who didn't grew up in the DOS age might feel it easier to use VDMSound, which takes little more than some right click, instead of navigating around in a DOS environment, too. But what you want to use is up to you.
