Isn't memory optimization supposed to mean loading commonly used drivers into upper memory, so that as much conventional memory as possible can be freed up? I don't know how to load commonly used drivers into memory. Please explain, and be a bit more detailed. (I also have some memory management tools, but I don't know how to use them.) Also, why is UMBPCI introduced in "Using DOS" as a system file? How exactly do you use it?? I can't understand it!!

LH xxx (load xxx into Upper Memory)

HIMEM -- XMS manager
EMM386 -- protected-mode memory manager
UMBPCI -- real-mode UMB manager

Only <640K mem: DOS=LOW
Only 1M XMS: HIMEM
<640K + UPPER + XMS: HIMEM + UMBPCI
ALL: HIMEM + UMBPCI + EMM386
Somehow somewhere I've got to choose.
No matter if it is win or lose.
