Rick,

    Can we expect better framerates with Windows95 supported
Soundcards, Video, ect... as compared to Dos? I currently have no
knowledge as to what Direct.....(ect...) support actually means.

Thanks,

Ron

It depends. The video and sound companies are all working on the DirectX
support, so keep up with their latest driver releases.

Rick,

If I have DirectX compliant drivers (Diamond 3240) and plenty of
memory will the new Win95 version run faster than the current DOS
version.

version.

Is that a Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM?  If it is, and the new Win95
version is even as FAST as the DOS version, LET ME KNOW!  My experience
with 3 sets of drivers and 2 versions of DirectX were not encouraging.
Frame rates were 1-5 fps slower in Win95.
