4 bit -vs- 8bit in Nascar2

3 posts by 3 people · 07 Feb 1997 - 09 Feb 1997

I just upgraded from 24 meg ram to 32 meg. When i had the 32 meg i could run Nascar2 in the 4 bit mode by running a ramdisk line in my config sys for 8 meg. Now with the 32 meg i tried to double my number in the config sys and it locks up right when it tries to open windows. Is there an easy way to use up the extra 16 meg so i can still run N2 in the 4 bit mode. Otherwise I'm considering going back to 24 meg. Thanks for any info. Aaron

I do something similar, however I use SMARTDRV to eat up memory. I have 48mb of memory and use the following line in my autoexec.bat: c:\windows\smartdrv j- a- b- d- e f- g- i- h 31372 512 the letters with "-" are drives which I don't cache with smartdrv. You might try 16192 in place of the 31372 -- **************************** Michael E.

It's been a while since using Smartdrive, but I seem to remember that if you use -q that all drive (except HD) are excluded...There are other switches that can speed-up the use, but I'll have to search through my notes...
