Restore old 486dx5 133MHz PC. That PC have only 24Mb RAM. How optimize mem utilization ?
Back in 1994, 24 megabytes was a LOT of RAM. If I remember right, you could use HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE to optimize your DOS memory. HIMEM loads part of DOS in the memory between 640K and 1 meg, and EMM386.EXE lets programs access the other 23 megs of RAM.

I started runing Ribbs BBS back in 1990 on the Trs-80 Color Computer running under Os9 Level 2, then switched to a 386 running Remote Acccess, Gecho and QWMM. I downloaded the entire fidonet backbone and I was a local hub 200 in Net-109. Now I am running Wildcat and Mystic BBS. Yes, Himem.sys & Emm386.exe brings back some old memories. Now I am running the bbs systems under Windows 7.
