Win the race against software bloat

In the race between the memory required to run the latest applications and earning the money to upgrade the hardware, the first often wins. However, it does not have to be that way. This book will give you information that will allow you to configure your system so that that extra bit of memory is there when you need it. And in the process, you will learn a great deal about the basic concepts of memory utilization in a DOS/Windows environment.The level is advertised as beginner and that is right on target. Anyone with a basic understanding of computers will be able to follow and execute the advice given here. Well worth the money as a resource on understanding memory as well as perhaps preventing a hardware upgrade, this book is perfect shelf fodder for public libraries.Published in Journal of Recreational Mathematics, reprinted with permission.
