If you have 636 KB of conventional RAM, you're doing pretty good. DOS can only have a maximum of 640 KB RAM, so you're only losing a measly 4 KB.
And as for Upper Memory, the most you can get out of that is 384 KB, however, many computers can only get about 90 KB maximum (the most I ever had in my life was about 150 Kb) because the rest of it is used for hardware reserved areas and BIOS stuff.
From the information you have there, it seems like your memory setup is as good as you're going to get it.
Unless there's more you can tell us about what's going on, I don't think there's more we could say. |

Somehow I really doubt your suggestion will work here 486 player, seems the cat is on a Win PC, not a dos PC.
Kittycat: give more info on what OS you are, maybe then we can suggest something (game shortcut or so...).
OS means what Dos/Windows/Whatever your PC runs.
Maybe the game you try to run also could be usefull. |
