- Hello all! I would like to optimize the memory usage in my system as
- well as speed up loading windows and applications. So far I think I have
- optimized the memory usage but I am not sure. Below is the my config.sys
- and autoexec.bat; could someone tell me if there is anything I can do
- to these files to improve system performance?
-
- Using the configuration below, I have noticed the loading windows and
- big applications like Ami Pro take fairly long. I suspect that it might
- be because I am using smartdrv. Is there a faster caching program?
-
- To save bandwidth, please reply to chungy2@rpi.edu
-
- Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
