I think that I was previously mistaken when I observed that Fractint's "Video Disk Node" uses XMS on my system.
I've since observed that Fractint's "Video Disk Mode" uses Expanded Memeory Services which according to you is EMS. How much EMS in my Fractint DOS box should I allow should I allow?
Fractint uses EMS for disk video only if you provide it with EMS. If you set your DOS environment to NO EMS, and provide XMS, you should see Fractint report that it's using XMS memory. As far as how much ... how big an image are you wanting to generate? I've done 2048x2948 images with 4MB of XMS available to Fractint. I have no idea how much memory it was actually using.
