Help, I recently purchased a Pentium 90 with 132Mb of system RAM. Upon boot-up on the AMI BIOS, the system recognizes the 132Mb, but when entering 3DS, the system only show I have 62Mb available. Is there a configuration error I am making in 3DS or on my system? BTW…I am using an Adaptec 1542C SCSI host controller. Any help would be appreciated!

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 -Brian
