As a kid I used the MultiConfig (based on a guide in PC Magazine!) to have different menus. When all you were trying to run was games, maxing your conventional memory was key. I had different combos for sound, no sound, CD-ROM, boot to windows, moving stuff between EMS/XMS so older games could fit.
I would meticulously try different combos and seeing that `mem` command return something above 600KB was a reward in and of itself.
