I have my AT set up as 640K + 384K.  The upper 384K is used as a disk
cache to make disk accesses go faster.  Basically, if something is to
come off of disk and it is currently in cache then the cache driver
pulls it from memory rather than making a disk access.  If you do lots
of little things, like using DOS commands, then this will speed up
thing a lot.  If you use big things like spreadsheets, or compilers
then it probably won't help much.  RAMDISK.SYS can be used or use one
of the many PD caches available via bulliten boards.
