Hi Michael!
May be you are saying this because Sindows 95 has a disk cache
and therefore since Quake does quite a bit of hard drive access
while playing, the game might seem to load and run faster than
under DOS when no cache (smartdrv etc) is installed.
MY EXPEREINCE for Quake was that for a given CPU (especially
not so powerful ones), under Win95 performance was quite chunky
and sometimes the sound gets clipped when compared to DOS
under CWSDPMI.
See You!
