"correct" / most compatible settings for config.sys for windows 9x if using rloew's ram patch + himemx2.exe, XMGR.sys, etc

[cov3rt]

So i've been researching this for a quite a bit and its difficult to determine what settings are most optimal, correct or compatible for being able to maximize the best of both worlds for dos functioning and windows 9x functioning overall, particularly as it relates to available windows system memory, etc. without getting too detailed, i have came up with a particular config.sys to use that assumes correct vcache settings, rloew's patchmem /m from beforehand. i want to know if these settings are acceptable for being able to limit memory for dos apps either in dos mode / inside windows but also maximum available system ram inside windows, so that i can use up to 1.5 GB in this example ( maxphyspage=60000 ), and use the following below as well in config.sys at the very top of the file, assuming no other himem.sys entries are present ( i would be using XMGR.sys renamed to himem.sys to allow better functions and be able to access safe mode with more than 512 MB of ram ).

i want to know if himem.sys will conflict with himemx2.exe, since himemx2.exe is already being loaded, and so what happens if a dos app calls for himem.sys, wouldn't that conflict with himemx2.exe? the only other option is to simply use the updated himem.sys instead, but for whatever reason im latching on with himemx2.exe to be used in config.sys ).

i tried to research on what exactly are the differences between them but couldn't really get a sufficient explanation, but apparently both are supposed to improve areas relating to EMS / XMS, ram management overall ( to use more than 1.128 GB available windows system ram ) which is one of my primary goals, as it doesn't work with just rloew's ram patch alone. i am using "max=62" to ensure more compatibility for dos apps, but i still want to use maxphyspage=60000, and so i was wondering if they conflict? 

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEMX2.EXE /MAX=62 /NUMHANDLES=64 /TESTMEM:OFF
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM 15253 FRAME=E000

If you need to limit memory - use memory limiter: burmem/limitmem/xmsres.

Do not use this execept for Safe Mode. But as you use RLoew's patchmem - do not use at all.
