Windows will most definately benefit from as much ram as you can give it.
(It's a memory pig.)  Also try not to run any TSRs when running windows.

Unless things have changed markedly from when I was programming in
windows, windows wants expanded memory LIM 4.0.

|Thanks in advance for pointers/tips/etc.
