Hey Greg: How are you? Didn't see you at siggraph. Anyway, just installed more ram, only my dos machine does not appear to be recognizing it. I've tried all I know but cannot get the response that I want. Any ideas? Any possibility of becomming a beta site so I can use nt? Or maybe an nt patch??? Ward-

Q: I just got a new machine with 128 MB of RAM, but 3D Studio only sees 64 MB of it. How do I get 3DS to recognize the additional memory I now have? A. There are some memory managers that are only capable of managing 64MB of memory. I recommend using a memory manager that explicitly handles above that 64meg limit, for example QEMM 7.x. Using QEMM you could configure your memory using this procedure: 1. Use the QEMM command SCANMEM to determine the amount of memory on the system. SCANMEM returns a value called USERAM, in the form of a memory range. Write down the value returned. 2. Use that USERAM value in the QEMM line you are loading in your CONFIG.SYS. For example: DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM USERAM=XXXX-XXXX Other memory managers may have similar procedures to access above the 64MEG limit. Consult the user guide or manufacturer for details.
