RAMOUNT By: John D Baker
RAMOUNT adds up the amount of ram being used by the operating system,
device drivers, and all the other Terminate-and-Stay-Resident
programs currently installed in your computer.
To use RAMOUNT:
Place RAMOUNT in your AUTOEXEC.BAT in place of IGNITION, then
boot your computer.
RAMOUNT will report:
The total ram requirement of currently installed device drivers,
programs running in the background, and DOS.
The CURRENT SETTING of Switch Block #2 on the main system board,
The RECOMMENDED SETTING of Switch Block #2.
The gain or loss in startup time, if you change the switch from the
current setting to the recommended setting.
How to set the ON OFF switch positions of Switch Block #2, for the
recommended value.
Try placing RAMOUNT in different locations of your AUTOEXEC.BAT to see
the different results. Then find a good spot to place PC-IGNITION.
RAMOUNT can also be run from the command line, at any time. You should
run it after setting your Switch Block #2, to be certain the switch
was set correctly.
If you have "NON-DOS games or programs" requiring a higher amount of
ram then the suggested switch setting, set the switches for the higher
amount. RAMOUNT can not tell how much ram is required by NON-DOS games
or programs.
