Hi guys

so, I have been reading a few threads here on Vogons regarding the popular ET4000/W32 graphics chipset. I have noticed that most people recommend getting the W32i or W32p variants with 2MB of memory due to the interleaved memory access. Now, I know that interleaving can bring a significant performance increase in Windows, but I was wondering, specifically on DOS gaming performance, how much of a difference there is between a W32 and their W32i/W32p counterparts.

Has anyone made this comparison? All of the benchmarks I've found use either the W32i or W32p. I recently got a VLB ET4000/W32 based card with 1MB, but have no way to compare with the versions that support interleaving myself.
