   The general answer to this question is another question:  What type of
memory is more useful to the programs you'll be running?

   If you'll be running Lotus 1-2-3 R3 for the most part, for example,
you should set your memory up as extended memory.  If you're running
Lotus 1-2-3 R2.2, on the other hand, you should set it up as expanded.

   So figure out what programs you'll be running, find out what type of
memory each of them will use, and make your decision based on that.  If
it turns out to be a split, you may want to consider QEMM or other such
programs, since they can often be set up to provide expanded memory to
programs which want it and extended memory to those which want extended.
