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. -F.
