Unless you wanted to play a DOS game. Then the fighting between DOS and Win 95 for the 640k began.
- lproven 8mo agoI am not a gamer and never really was, but a default config of Win95 made a lot of RAM available for DOS apps, as I recall. (And I was a serious expert in this area, 30-35 years ago.) I used to do very basic memory optimisation on my Win95 boxes, just because I could with minimal mental effort, and then my DOS sessions had 630 kB or so free. What I confess I did not investigate was DOSSTART.BAT and optimising what RAM was left when Windows was in "DOS mode". https://smallvoid.com/article/win9x-dosstart.html https://smallvoid.com/article/win9x-dosstart.html Too much effort for too little reward, for me.
