>> To use memory beyond 16MB you have to disable bios shadowing in CMOS.
There IS a fix for it!
This problem occurs with MANY motherboards. Just use a memory manager (like
QEMM) that will shadow your ROM for you. I have this exact system (Gateway
44DX2-66V w/ ATI GUP VLB 2Mb. Make your QEMM line include the following
statements: ROM=F900-FBFF ROM=FD00-FFFF X=B000-B7FF ROM=C000-C7FF
This shadows both the system BIOS and the video BIOS (note the specific address
of the system BIOS shadow. The area from F000-F7FF is redundant and can be
used by QEMM as high RAM, the F800-F8FF is already shown as mapped [by the BIOS
itself, or auto-relocated extended BIOS area by QEMM] and you don't want to
shadow FC00-FCFF as it screws up your floppy drives).
