Has anyone tested how extended memory is best used? Should it be used
to make a large RAM disk, increase cache buffer size, something else?
I assume that programs limited to 64K I&D can multi-task without
exhausting a whole lot of the 2M or more that resides in many of
today's PCs. I rarely run more than one thing in the background since
everything I want to do simultaneously seems to get disk bound.
Suggestions welcome.
