i beg to differ: jack's cache can be configured to cache huge fractions of your partition (which may or may not be good for performance) and that ramdisk modification by japheth can now store gigabytes in his ultra-xms space. a more "smart" use case is that checkers app which stored huge search trees of moves in ram to work better in dos than in windows a few years ago. i remember it because the author had noticed that it was tricky to use more than 2-3 gigabytes depending on memory layout as asked about it here. so while it was me myself who said that i cannot IMAGINE nice use cases for > 4 gb ram earlier today, i still am OPEN to be proven wrong :-) eric _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
