But So by this logic, PAE will win?!? using a 32 bit OS + PAE on a x86/64 CPU is like using 16 bit protected mode on a 386 (it just doesn't make any sense).

Win95 File System stuck in MSDOS compatibility mode-Please HELP!
Rob Curran seems to feel that there is little need for SB 16 compatability because first there are not enough games that require this, second a game often adds the SB16 option even when its waveforms are 8 bit, and third there is MSS (Microsoft sound system, the "alternative" 16 bit standard).

The SB16 gives you 16-bit Sound Blaster compatibility, unlike the 8-bit SB compatibility of other cards such as the Tropez, Ensoniq, and all of the other SB clones to date. The Yamaha or Roland DBs give you really nice wavetable audio. Keep in mind, though, that Roland hasn't made a single SCD-10 or SCD-15 in many

32 bit DOS extender programs under Windows?
'16 bit' may refer to 16 bit real mode code or to 16 bit protected mode code. The two are completely different in many fundementals. It is not possible to take real-mode Both are 16 bit. Just because OS/2 are 16 bit does not imply any 'legacy' or MS-DOS derivation in spite of your wishing that this is true.

How do I correct this? Is this a Vista Problem? Yes. Sorry to say, you will not be able to run a full screen 16 bit DOS app in Vista's command prompt window. The workaround is running MS-DOS and your 16 bit program in a virtual machine, such as Microsoft Virtual PC or DOSBox. Microsoft Virtual PC 2007:
