Get some RAM more for speed

1 post by 1 person · 18 Aug 1995 - 18 Aug 1995

hi, wanna get some better frame rates? so upgrade your PC from 8 to 16Mb. i just did it, with some 60ns (nanosec) chips. some results: - nascar, about 1/2 faster - flight unlimited, about 1/3 faster, & the possibility to have 1024x768 - descent, about 1/3-1/2 faster (now smoothly with 640x400 on my P90 !!!) - FS5.1, not better (why?) - 3DStudio, 100%! faster! - hioctane, 1/3 faster on 640x480 ect. ect. ect. the upgrade from 16 to 24MB or more won't show same good increases. an other idea would be to take from 24MB 8 out for a ramdisk, as a temporary directory.----> a harddisc is still slower than RAM ! I already got a fast ELSA S3 864 2MB chip, and wouldn't get any same performance increase with any better graphic card now on market. MikeS
