Ward: To date the most common method to see all of your 128mb of RAM is to use a memory manager like QEMM 7.x. Here is a message which spells out what you might want to try: #: 103734 S3/Hware/OpSys/video 24-May-94 16:22:09 Sb: Breaking the 64M Wall Fm: Jonas Ruikis [ADESK] 73172,1351 To: Jonas Ruikis 73172,1351 (X) Certain Pentium-based machines need a little kick start when trying to get them to recognize more than 64Mb of RAM. Here's the secret (courtesy of Jamie Clay in the Autodesk VPG): First, does all the memory count up during initial boot?, if so read on… o Get QEMM 7.04 (actually you can't yet purchase this, but you can get the patch to QEMM 7.x on CIS in the QEMM forum) o Then you use the(undocumented) SCANMEM command to display the amount of memory the machine has. SCANMEM returns a memory range called USERAM. o That range then needs to be plugged into the QEMM386.SYS's USERAM option in the CONFIG.SYS. Example: DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM USERAM=XXXXX-XXXXX From there it works like a champ. Note – you needed to add the RAM option to get Windows to work with it. – Bob Ritger
