The
following will help allow your computer to load programs into
memory more efficiently allowing you to have more memory for
MS-DOS programs / games.
Ensure
you have the following lines at the beginning of your
config.sys file.
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
By placing the
DOS=HIGH,UMB on the second line this can in some cases save
memory because it is loading DOS into upper memory before
loading the memory manager. Additionally the first and third
line cannot be loaded into high memory because these lines are
the memory managers.
Load all your
devices in your config.sys and autoexec.bat into high memory.
