This is a little exagerated.  QEMM does a pretty good job of identifying
available and unavailable memory.  Some non-standard configurations confuse
it, and this is especially true of systems that use ROM shadowing.

Fortunately, QEMM also comes with Manifest, a memory-analysis tool which you
should run even *before* you install QEMM, just to make sure that there
aren't any hidden gotchas in your system.
