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.

Computer system:
	Gateway 2000 486-33 local bus
	8 megs of memory
