I just happened to have that handy… – G – – – – 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): 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.
