how increase conventional memory in W2K

To maximize the amount of memory available to MS-DOS programs, add the following line to your Config.sys file:

buffers=13

On most computers, this command frees up approximately 16K of conventional or upper memory for use by MS-DOS programsor device drivers. However, this command reduces the number of MS-DOS buffers, so it might adversely affect disk performance when your computer is running in MS-DOS mode.
