You should have only one HIMEM.SYS line in your config.sys: 
HIMEM.SYS NOEMS 
you only need to change this if you have OLD DOS programs that use EMS.

You should have 512K L2 cache and 512MB RAM cacheable set in the BIOS.

If you are running Win95 you should NOT have SMARTDRV in either config.sys
or autoexec.bat.

You should check your motherboard/computer manual to see if jumpers need to
be changed.

Any other questions let me know. I hope I helped (even if I didn't).
