1)  You can use the 384 K above the base 640 K as extended
memory.  This is normally accessed with either a virtual disk
probgram or else some disk cacheing program such as the one in
PCTools.  I don't know where you buy a ram disk program, but I
think they are cheap or free.

2)  VGA has 420 lines vertically, as opposed to 350 for a EGA.  I
think that the fonts look a lot better.  Of course if the VGA
isn't very good, poor brightness or focus, a good EGA would be
better.
