This setting can be used to increase the number of disk buffers available to DOS.

Open the CONFIG.SYS file found in the root directory of your C: drive using Notepad or another text editor (not Microsoft Word or any word processor).

Add a new line with the text "buffers=40", or modify the exiting line beginning with "buffers=" and change it to "buffers=40" where '40' is the number of disk buffers. Alternatively use "buffershigh=40" to cause the reserved memory to be taken out of the upper memory area instead.

These changes will take place on the next reboot.
