    Somebody asked (more or less), "What would you want all that memory
for?" in respect to the matter of DR-DOS handling more than 64MB.  One
thing I can think of using it for is a huge ramdisk for swapping and
temp space and for loading at startup lots and lots of frequently used
programs.  Even on my decrepit old 385sx box with only 5MB memory, I
used to set up a ramdisk for launching the utilities and batch files I
was using over and over.
