I have a 12 Meg 286 with 2Mb of memory. I use Windows mainly with WFW, with ATM
in the background. I am interested in what people think is the best 
configuration for the best performance. That is what disk cache to use, how 
a big a disk cache to use, size of ATM font cache etc. I am asking this because
I am not really happy with the general performance.. ie scrolling speed, screen
updates etc...

Also do people think that 2Mb is enough on a 286 .. I sometimes uses programs
such as designer in conjunction with word.
