Are you loading any 16-bit real-mode drivers in your config.sys?  You
should use Win95 drivers if possible, since they don't take any
conventional memory.  Also, keep the following lines in your
config.sys:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE noems
DOS=HIGH,UMB

That's ALL I have in my config.sys.  My autoexec.bat loads DOSKEY
high.  I have 612K free.
