What to say ? Well, if I would be still on that forum this would be when certainly abandoning it - unless moderators, admin do something with such pile of lies and nonsense.

Last post by Petari - 16-12-2023, 12:20:50And more: Game enh. with 1 MB RAM
I know about plenty of games using extra RAM (above 512 KB) for diverse enhancements. Probably most common is using extra RAM for disk cache, so must not reload everything from slow floppies. Then, sample base audio playback - samples are longer, so take more RAM - so by some games they will play only if there is 1 MB RAM min. It's usually in intro stage. And even game play can be better with more RAM. I saw cases when different exec loads when it is min 1 MB RAM . I would say that probably some 5-10 % of games, especially later ones has some improvement when 1 or more MB RAM is detected.
