#Memory Problem
3 messages in this thread
I have been using 3DS for A LONG TIME and never ran into this problem. I just
upgraded all of my Macines to 96 meg., and 3DS only recognizes 64????? Any
thoughts

You (like the rest of us) have a DOS problem. You need QEMM or some other
memory manager to make DOS see more then 64 Mb or RAM.
Max, Max, Max!
Dear Puzzled,
I just had this Jamie Clay message fragment passed to me:
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.
Based on past experience, this technique generally works. However, on one of
my computers that I just upped to 96M, I had tried all of this and I have not
yet been successful in getting 3DS (or Windows) to see more than 64. I have
not yet given up, however! Later…
