Is there any way to add RAM without physically installing it?

Slightly unfair as your testing NVDI vs a blitter ;)

Does NVDI mimic a blitter? As I know my board doesn't have a blitter chip.

Your comparing against a machine with blitter still. You need to read GB6 info on how to use it...

Was just wondering what the COPS.ACC is and if I need it at all. I just deleted COPS.ACC and COPS.INF (I have my system backed up) as Notator really dislikes ACC files (though it doesn't mind Deskpic). This had a surprising affect in releasing about 1MB of memory (for Notator. System info shows no change), so if it's not something I need I could get rid, but I don't actually know what it is. It was on the NVDI self installer.

Control Panel replacement. You don't need it.
