Re: Need advice about migrating Win7 x86 -> x64

Posted on 2011-05-01, 07:02

Unless you have some kind of data to back that theory of yours up I call bullshit. Start IE a few times. Then start IE 64 bit a few times. Tell me if you notice a difference in loading times. Irrelevant, unless you're trying to install your OS on a 20GB harddisk. It's 2011, live with it. Unless you …

EDIT: I'm talking about W7, just for clarification! Firstly: Have you tried launching IE and IE64 bit and noticed a difference? Would love to hear other peoples view. It's not about individual applications using large amounts of RAM. It's certainly one important aspect in this issue. Going from 32 …

That wasn't the point I was trying to make. Superfetch is a feature both versions use, it's not relevant to this debate. 64 bit software in general requries more memory and the applications require more storage. They are simply larger and that's what many people don't see. If you think about it what …

Games I found to be difficult are Sierra VGA games with speech. E.g. SQ4, SQ1 VGA and so on. Basically all the really old games which speech. Modern games, with modern drivers are much better. Games such as Descent or Duke Nukem 3D seem to work on every card I have tried so far, be it ISA or PCI. I …

I think the SB16 can't do stereo SB Pro emulation. However, I don't know the exact details about this. That's pretty much it. Specifically it concerns the digital speech section in Stereo. Recently dosforum.de looked into this and found that selecting SB Pro on a SB16/AWE32/AWE64 results in not …

I haven't used Munt since I got real Roland gear a while ago. Could someone try the Game "The Heart of China"? It uses a lot of custom sounds, and in general, sounds very unique! For comparison, I did a YouTube recording ages ago on a MT-32 (Old): Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2iv2RSXkXA …

Re: How to run Stacker V4

I'm surprised this is so tricky. I hooked up this old HDD, from that 486 I got, onto the IDE controller of my Phenom 2 machine and it just worked. I did unplug all the SATA devices though... The CF cards (which are formatted as FAT16 under DOS 6.22) also just work. If you are getting a blank screen, …

but as the HDD is bust I would need to clone it to a new one first. No worries, Acronis is excellent at cloning from one drive to the other... Would a modern PC boot up ? Totally! IDE and all of that is still the same. DOS runs on modern machines without any issues. I admit I have only tried Dos 6, …

Back in the days, I do remember that there was an option to "unstack" a HDD. It would take a long time though... I take it the HDD is IDE and that Toshiba is a notebook? What you can do is get a notebook to desktop IDE adapter and then connect the HDD into a modern PC and boot it up. Then you can …
