Optimum System Requirements
Here is the description of your dream machine (at least for the next 6 months :-):
Hardware
the fastest CPU you can find (100 MHz Pentium as of this writing)
at least 256KB second-level (off-chip) cache memory
32 MByte RAM
motherboard built around fast 32-byte-wide bus (VLB or PCI)
SCSI-II hard disk with bus-mastering controller
Software
DOS, device drivers and TSRs all loaded HIGH, leaving only 5K DOS footprint in lower (under 640K) memory
2 MByte RAM disk installed, TMPDIR environment variable points to it (e.g., ``set TMPDIR=e:'', if E: is the RAM drive letter).
8 MByte of disk cache, set to delayed-write operation.
