I hope anyone could help me about this problem. I have got a system with 8Mb of ram and VLB caching controller with 512K. I installed the accompanied device driver in my config.sys and also put smartdrv in my autoexec.bat. It looks like my smartdrv is taking away 2mb of my memory. What I wanted to know is how to make sure the caching contoller`s memory is used. My main purpose is running windows and I would like to use the 32bit access to speed up things and getting the most memory out for my programs. Can anyone also tell me about the normal available conventional memory when running windows 3.1. I would like to squeeze the most out of it. I would appreciate in mail please. Thanks in advance.
