I think you do need to use assembly...

but memcpy is not 8 bit... it's 16 bit most times... 

Render_Buffer_32 PROC FAR C
.386
push ds
cld
lds si, double_buffer
les di, video_buffer
mov cx,16000
rep movsd
pop ds
ret
Render_Buffer_32 ENDP 

That would work for real mode code... 

you can find the complete source on my site.

ps: I've just ran the program using this... and to my 
surprise, it runs under windows NT... everything works 
fine... the graphics... low level keyboard...etc.... 
I am still stunned by this... 

hope it helps...
