Hi!

DOS does not normally use the acceleration of "good quality". For example I once tried fractals on a 75 MHz computer and found out that using an ISA graphics card that I had around made the fractals much slower than what the, not very fast either, CPU would have managed ;-) Doom on a 386 or slow 486 with good 16 bit ISA graphics would have equaly fast VGA and CPU, but if your CPU is a good 486 or even Pentium style, the ISA VGA would be the bottleneck. Of course there might be a few games which do use acceleration features of the card, but for my first PCI card, it was only the game which came bundled with it :-) Regards, Eric _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
