Okay, I've upload Fastvid, this is a utility that seems to only benifit Pentium Pro, P2 and P3 (might work with AMD processors, I have no idea), the program has to be run in native DOS (not under Windows as it will just crash, it needs to hook into DPMI ring or something like that), I recommend putting in your autoexec.bat once you have written the settings down..
Press Y when it asks if you want to enable write posting.
Press Y when it asks if you want to enabled banked VGA write combining.
Press N when it is ask if you want to apply the patch.
Press Y when it asks if you want to enable linear frame buffer write combining
It should come up with the amount of memory and location of the frame buffer, hit Y again and then note the numbers it returns, this is what you want to put in your autoexec.bat
here is an example for a videocard..
fastvid 111 32 e4000000
I beleive Sci-Tech Display Doctor program uses a program similar to this to.
