"well I've got it running, it's working with all 3 cores. (The only exception would be a really well equipped (486) DX/4 or Pentium system with 24 MB or better 32 MB of RAM, a hard disk of at least 1 or 2 GB, and quite a good VL or PCI graphics card.)Īnother side note: The combination of DOS and WfW 3.11 seems to be quite popular as a second system with Linux people - no wonder, as DOS doesn't need many resources, and with WfW 3.11 it's not much different, and there's still lots of software.Īnd what x86 hardware is supposed to be supported by DOSBox atPandora?
This is not a good idea at all, unless your motto is "May the hourglass be with you!". There are supposed to be people who get an older computer with DOS 6.x and Windows 3.1x on it and try to iron Windows 95 or even 98 over it. Here is quote from " Windows 3.1x tuning page": But I played my MP3 at old comp 486DX2 at - 66MHz (later overclocked to 80MHz)! At Windows 3.11. It was enough for Windows 95, but speedlight for Windows 3.11. System RequirementsĬlick to expand.As I remember, I got extremely overclocked DX4 to 133MHz, and I had 32MB RAM. Here are screenshots (of different quality). I remember run 32-bit Xara (v1.2?), Paint Shop Pro (3.12?) & Photoshop 4 without problem.īut, best part IMHO is Calmira: With Calmira ("shell", GUI for Windows 3.x) you can mimic Windows 9x/XP/Vista. Some soft could be seen here, 32-bit (Win 9x) here. What is not much known is possible support of FAT32, Long file names, and (limited) 32-bit windows application support (through " Win32s"). (BTW speed decreased with more then 64K colors and above 800圆00 resolution). "High-colors modes" required 4-8 Mb of RAM.
Standard Windows graphic driver was 800圆00, 256 colors. It means that it could be tweaked much more for size - if needed, but for speed too (there were tweekers). *I got bootable/portable RAMdisk-only Win3.11 version fitted at 1 3,5' floppy (1,44 Mb), (together with DOS&tools).
