   There is a program known as MORERAM that makes DOS recognize as much
additional RAM as it can find. I have heard of people reaching 768K
using this program.

   I believe it is available from SIMTEL20 in the SYSUTL directory. If
you have the RAM and no advanced graphics card, you should check it out.
