Hello Sparky

It also depends (kind of) on the speed of your machine. I run a Pentium 
133, and never had to use memmaker, even for DOS games. If you run the 
games from Win 95, it should work just fine. Win 95 have drivers for 
everything, so I don't have autoexec.bat/config.sys at all, which also 
gives me 600+K base memory (a bonus!) In general there is no problem with 
runing DOS games from WIn95, it should have EMS memory automatically. 
Some games cannot cope with 32-bits, so set it up so that the computer 
would restart in DOS so you can play it.
