Hi,
I am building a 386 class machine based on Am386DX-40, 8Mb ram, Trident 9000 512kbyte isa and 107mb disk. After installing Dos I am trying to understand how much the virtual mode enabled hit performance. With some benchmark it seems that video performance is indeed much lower than real mode. Is it obvious or there's something wrong? I would like to use a native dos machine to boost this old beast at its best with games programs etc..
Any experiences to tell me?
