More efficient conventional memory use

rubenerd

Hey everyone, I was on these forums before but got sidetracked... back again Be unafraid, be VERY VERY unafraid lol

Just wanted to know how all of you running dos manage your conventional memory... I managed to tweak a barebones system in VPC to about 18k, but that was without a whole pile of stuff!

I've read that UMBPCI.SYS uses less conventional than emm386 etc...

Just food for thought

EDIT: Whoops... meant to say there's 18k being USED not free lol

I don't manage it.... just run memaker after dos and win 3.11 are installed then hope I don't run out after all drivers are installed.

Ah MEMMAKER, I had forgotton about that! I knew there was a way to do it without having to stuff around too much yourself.

Just have to edit out EMM386...
