This text examines how conventional RAM can be maximized using new DOS 5 features, TSR programs, and various network and device drivers that increase standard memory capabilities. The author also helps readers sort through the maze of extended and expanded memory options - including memory chips, EEMS, LIM hardware and software, QEMM, and Microsoft XMS - which allow owners of older PCs to run more powerful applications. Finally, the book shows readers how to get their money's worth out of Windows and DESQview with many practical tips on how to optimize performance of large applications in networked, multitasking environments.
