	Could be that your memory is configured as EXPANDED memory, as
	opposed to EXTENDED memory, in which case, Windows cannot take
	advantage of anything you have over 640kb.  Check your
	configuration.  If it's on a board, i.e., Intel AboveBoard,
	then you probably have to set a switch somewhere.

	Another problem might with ROM BIOS on your ATI, but check
	memory first, then worry about the ROM BIOS.
