I bought DOS 5.0 today and after installing it I have a question.  I have
no idea if anyone can help me but...

Before installing DOS 5.0, my system ran noticeably faster than a Compaq
386/33 (according to Norton Utilities System Info).  Now it runs only
comparably, i.e. only marginally faster.  My computer has 64K cache and
I'm beginning to think that somehow DOS is ignoring it.  As I am not too
well versed in juggling extended memory etc, I am not sure how the
64K cache is configured, is it in high memory or what?  I'm obviously
confused, can somebody help?

Terence
