I have the Qualitas (386MAX), PC-Tools, SMARTDRV and Norton caches on various
boxes around the building. My personal experience is limitted to SMARTDRV which
is currently removed.  Other people in the industry seem to think the PC-Tools
is the best all around compromise.  The fundamental reason is the least amount
of overhead for the function you get. Again, I have no experience with this but
will be attempting to use it next week.  Although Norton utilities has a cache
with it I've yet to here of anyone actually using it.

HIMEM.SYS may use the "lost" 384K of dos memory for Windows but it definitely
doesn't load my TSRs there.  Boot your system but before you get into Windows,
run the Norton/PC-Tools memory utilities to show you what is loaded where.  I
believe you'll find all your "goodies" are still in 0-640K.
Happy Caching....

You don't have problems crashing with the PCTools cache?  You removed SmartDrv
for what reason and you're using what now?  If you're not using anything
I should think you're experiencing a 30% increase in loading time/swapping
time!
