Can you guys show me your Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files for examples. I want to know if I am doing it right. Basically, I want to know SB paramaters, Memory, etc. And any other tricks you may know for best performance on 486. Thanks.

So are there any benefits for a Voodoo PCI card on a 486 running DOS or Win3x ? Or can you get away with an S3 trio 2mb ?
