- I have heard many many people saying that E/D runs faster under
- DOS than under Windows 95... I have no idea why, but the exact opposite
- is true for me. Under DOS, the emulator runs annoyingly slowly, but under
- Windows 95, it's actually quantifiably faster than the Mac IIsi I am using\
- to type in this message.\
-
- Perhaps it's the way Windows 95 is set up to run E/D, or my system
- specs, but I have notably better performance under 95 than under DOS.
- If anyone would like, I could post or send benchmark info.
-
- Here are my system specs (only mediocre at best)
-
- 100MHz i486-DX4
- 16 Meg RAM (only 6 of which are available for applzone when running
- under 95)
- 2 Gig total HD capacity
- SoftRAM (which doesn't help DOS based apps, and actually has little\
- effect overall on anything!)
- VESA version 1.2 (find no advantage in UNIVBE)
