Thanks for the reply Jonas, I use to use QEMM back in the days of R1 and R2. In those days Gateway 486 VLB systems would have bios shadow problems when using more than 16MB of RAM causing performance to be cut in half. That problem ended with the newer Micronics JX-30 mother boards. Perhaps it will be a while before Intel & Gateway get the Pentium/PCI boards worked out. I thought I could use himem.sys since by now all the bugs should be worked out. But even on a 486-66 system I noticed a performance decrease when using the DOS 6.22 flavor of himem.sys as compared to the DOS 5.0 version. It is curious that my Pentium problems showed up only when field rendering, and only with R4. Does the R4 render fields option work differently than in R3? -Parris
