    SD> Restore old 486dx5 133MHz PC. That PC have only 24Mb RAM. How optimize mem   
    SD> 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.
