Although I enjoy the pedagogical and calculating minds of this group,
I enjoy vintage hardware also.
Thank you, Unknown_K. I'll try a 386DX/40 with 16mb of ram.
What multimedia applications have you tested on one?
I have never used a 286/20 what windows 3.1 games run on them?
SomeGuy, I thought that the FPS (of an *.avi for example) was of some importance.
Some graphics accelerators may be only polygon accelerators.
Look at Intel 3dr on win3x.
For example (gtwt4d1.zip)

Although there may be egregious examples of slow video cards,
I was more curious of veteran hardware in action.
Software often comes with recommended or miniumum requirements specified.
In judging my own software, I am uncertain.
Hardware configurations are so variant.
would you place

as operational on your particular "Later PC"?
Could you list an applications similar performance on particular hardware?
To simplify Frames per second,
I have incorporated a FPS counter into the border of the application.
I am sorry if I have confused you, Trixter.
Thank you for answering my questions.
Although this particular software did not originate on windows 3.x, it should be compatible.
Would you say that it is suitable for one of the "Later PCs"?
Thank you, Mad-Mike.
Yes, I had noted that windows 3.1x is mainly for the Later PCs.
MS-DOS 6.22 and win3x can easily handle 64mb of ram.
Because this is the "Later PCs" section, the 286 is counted out.
