Okay.  THE MORE RAM WITH WIN95, THE BETTER.  The heart beats at 8 megs, the
blood moves at 16, but it really isn't until 32 megs that the legs actually
start to move.  With Windows 95, adding more ram can speed things up more
than a processor upgrade!

As for the whole 640k thing, this is still true ONLY FOR 16-BIT APPLICATIONS.
DOS and Win 3.1 apps will still have to work under the 640k limit even in
Win95.  Fortnately, Windows' virtual device drivers free up a LOT of
conventional memory.

And NUTS to that guy who claimed to speed up Win95 with SmartDrive.  You
cannot speed up Win95 by taking ram away from it.  Use the internal disk
caching instead, it's in System Properties, under the Performance tab.  Set
it as far to the right as you feel comfortable with.  Win95 will tell you how
much ram you just reserved for disk caching.

Any questions?  Comments?
