If you're comparing SoftWindows with a 4 MB PC:
* 16 MB of RAM on the Power Macintosh is the minimal configuration.
* Set the Monitors control panel to 256 colors.
* In the Memory control panel, turn Modern Memory manager ON, Virtual
Memory OFF, reduce Disk Cache to the minimum.
* Set SoftWindows' application size to 12000K.
* Launch SoftWindows
* Select PC Memory under the Setup Menu
* Set Expanded Memory (EMS) to ZERO, and Extended Memory (XMS) to 3 MB or
4 MB (this will leave between 1 MB and 2 MB of RAM unused, but will improve
performance significantly).
* In Windows Desktop, set the size to 640X480, with 256 colors.
If you're comparing SoftWindows with a PC that has 8 MB RAM (or more):
* The Power Macintosh should have a minimum of 24 MB of RAM.
* Set the Monitors control panel to 256 colors.
* In the Memory control panel, turn Modern Memory manager ON, Virtual
Memory OFF, reduce Disk Cache to the minimum.
* Set SoftWindows' application size to 18000K.
* Launch SoftWindows.
* Select PC Memory under the Setup Menu
* Set Expanded Memory (EMS) to ZERO, set Extended Memory (XMS) to 10 MB
(this will leave about 2 MB of RAM unused, but will improve performance
significantly).
* In Windows Desktop, set the size to 640X480, with 256 colors.
Additional Speed Tips:
1) Use the HPV video in the 7100 or 8100.
2) Add a cache card if you're using a 6100 or 7100, for a boost of about
20%.
3) Install a fast hard disk (such as a 1 GB drive) to significantly boost
Windows performance in general, and database access in particular.
NOTE: Some applications may require even more RAM than the minimum stated.
The difference in performance between the worst settings and optimum settings can be more than 100%.
