There are even some DOS applications which needs a MORE powerful machine than a typical 286-486 with 4-8MB RAM... Three examples: Pixel32 (a photoshop-like graphic program for DOS) needs a 400MHz CPU and 64MB RAM Carmageddon (in HIRES mode) needs an ~600 MHz CPU and 48MB RAM QuickView Pro (for playing DivX / XviD videos) sometimes needs even more than 633 MHz (it depends of the video file coding/resolution) ....so, FreeDOS (and generally DOS) isn't reserved to oldschool machine owner's... By the way, I am an intensive FreeDOS user, and my machine isn't *very* old: Cel766 / 256MB RAM / Voodoo 3 3000 Fox ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
