Greetings - ive got qdos, a voodoo 2 and a p3 550 mhz.
The AGP card is a GF FX5500. The qdos page says that mtrrlfbe can speed up my qdos voodoo 2 experience.
But mtrrlfbe does not list my voodoo 2, just my GF.

And qdos takes a LONG time to load up.

Using pure DOS 7.1
EMM386 and himem from M$.

Any suggestions? 😀

Thanks!

The Voodoo2's framebuffer is not used for the operations the "combined writing"-tool mtrrlfbe was designed for.
It's just there for the result of its internal rasterization and not the cpu's.
In contrast the GeForce has a frame buffer the cpu can manipulate and, if supported, use combined writing operations on.
