REACTOR - ICR2 Absolutely Incredible!!!!

by burn.. » Thu, 21 Nov 1996 04:00:00

P-100, 16mb RAM, Reactor, 17" MAG

Used a boot disk with the following configuations....

CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=c:\win95\himem.sys
DEVICEHIGH=c:\win95\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
DOS=HIGH,UMB

AUTOEXEC.BAT
PROMPT $p$g
PATH=C:\DOS;C:\ICR2
SET SOUND=C:\SB16
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6
C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE /S
C:\SB16\AWEUTIL /S
C:\SB16\SB16SET /P /Q
LH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.COM

This boot up allows for 620K+ conventional memory for DOS programs
according to mem /c /p.  It also picks up the verite card.

ICR2(3d) is INCREDIBLE.  Running all graphics on.  Hi detail mirror,
anti-aliasing on.  With maximum cars ahead, 3 behind, hearing 3.  Smooth,
smooth, smooth.  Absoultely incredible.  Then I moved INDY and TALADEGA
over from my ICR2 demo directories and the 3d works great with those
tracks too.

When I exit out of ICR2(3d) I get this tech info.  Mean anything to you?
Can you compare it to yours.  

DMA Memory fragmentation:
    Pointer buf:       100%
    Command buf:   100%
    Texture buf:        100%
       All bufs:          100%
Digital Sound
Port 220  IRQ 5  DMA 1
Confirmed with SB16 8 ST
Memory Check:   582480 LO    5242864 HI    5825344 ALL
Texture heap size:  6928 K
Texture cache size:  2166 K

Bring on NASCAR2.  Oh yeah, this configuration works great with the N2DEMO
that I couldn't get to work previously.  What a great night!!!!! :)

  I haven't played for a few days, but I think that my DMA Memory
fragmentation percentages were all 0's.  I will check tomorrow.
