What version of DOSBox are you using? If memory serves, some of the older ones were a lot less efficient, and would never be able to get the game to run well no matter your CPU. I'm pretty sure a Core Duo should be enough with a modern version.
Also, technically, Daggerfall comes at one resolution, which IS 16:10 (aka 8:5 in some places) widescreen, as it runs at 320x200.
As far as the older games go, I doubt you'll like Arena more than Daggerfall, given that Arena wasn't quite like the later three Elder Scrolls games; no class-maker, EXP-based levels, no ability to walk from city-to-city, no guilds or guild questlines, only minimal quests total... A far more limited game. Daggerfall is really where they came to shine, and since then, IMO, they've just watered their games down with each new one.
