I would be interested in hearing about these previous problems with HIMEM.SYS and DELLs - you can email me on mark@acc-ltd.demon.co.uk >Anyway I've given up trying various DOS tricks and will return the program, >figuring that for over $100 in today's market one should expect even a DOS >program should be more user friendly. Thats a pity. I have been working with Milton Zuc over the last two weeks or so and have a test program (NOT Hiarcs) using extended memory successfully (and fast) through HIMEM.SYS on his Dell PII/450. I am integrating this test code with Hiarcs this weekend so things are progressing fast towards a solution for the Dell/Hiarcs problem. > >Anyway, I'm curious - How much weaker would it play without the extra memory? > >Michael Ginat Depends on a lot of factors including the speed of processor, Ram, phase of the game etc, etc. I would need to do some tests. I will run Hiarcs against the BT2830 and LCTII test using a small hash table on my PPro200 and put the results on my web page http://www.acc-ltd.demon.co.uk alongside the figures already there for Hiarcs running with extended memory hash tables.
