This means, that that the motherboard is HARDWARE prepared for using RAM above 640K for expanded memory. Your motherboard, I guess, is made so - that you by dip-swiches are able to choose if the RAM above 640K is to be used for expanded or extended memory. By using an EMS-driver - like EMM.SYS - you can use the expanded memory for EMS! The conclusion must be - I suppose - that you cant have both.. BUT - I know that drivers like `extended' -> `EMS' are available in public domain... But dont use a such - I only trust programs that have beed used by others before! Anyway: EMS is used much more often than extended memory - And Windows can use it too - But only for storing it's graphics like the wall paper. I hope you couldt use this Kresten, University of Aalborg, Denmark
