AUTODESK - ADI 4.2 REQUIREMENTS
TurboDLD
Classic requires a '386, '486 or Pentium™ based PC that supports AutoCAD
Release 12, 11/386, AutoShade 2 with RenderMan, or 3D Studio V1.x/2.x.
Additional extended memory is recommended for optimal performance. The driver
actively uses about 300 Kbytes of RAM from extended memory for its operation. This
memory is drawn from AutoCAD's memory pool and therefore does not affect normal
DOS operation. The driver is loaded by AutoCAD at AutoCAD load time and is unloaded
when AutoCAD is exited.
Additionally, the Display List size can vary from one tenth to three times the size of the
current drawing file, particularly when using AutoCAD 12's 31-bit regen space.
You may wish to purchase and install additional RAM before installing
TurboDLD
Classic, since it shares memory with AutoCAD. If AutoCAD is using a lot of
memory, TurboDLD
Classic may not have enough. If there is significant hard disk activity
while you are using TurboDLD
Classic, it may be an indication that you should add more
memory to your system.
