Hi Rick, >>The times with and without mapping are sure different… your times are about 75% slower. Maybe the difference is in the hard drive interface… The obvious differences that I can see are Dos 7.0 w/ Win95 and the (recently released) 8ns pipeline burst cache as opposed to the 16ns or slower pbs. I asume that if everything takes place in ram the hard drive never gets a single hit during a test like this. But for the sake of argument I am only using the built in ide controllers on the mb. It supports up to four drives and or cd-roms. I set up a ms-dos session from win95 that reboots the system clean (except for the mouse drv) into dos 7.0, then executes 3ds.exe directly. nothing fancy. Timothy NVision Inc. & Digibotics
