Hi,

I have a few questions that may have been discussed before. I have 2.6 MB
memory on my 286 Compaq which supports LIM 3.2. I am also using Compaq
Dos 3.31.


	o Which type of memory should I configure for best performance ?
	  (Exp vs. Ext) ? I can have both of them.

	o In running WIndows 286, how do I make use of the extra memory
          to open more applications instead of converting all to cache
	  memory (using Smartdrive.sys). I read from the documentation
	  that it supports only LIM 4.0 ?

	o Will my above configuration be sufficient to run OS/2 with
	  presentation manager ? What about Unix ?


I would appreciate any pointers or suggestions. Thanks !!
