I recently upgraded from my speed demon XT compatible to 
a '286 and it came with 1meg of ram already configured so
that 360k was in "expanded memory".
I know that "extended" memory is a good thing and many programs
are written to take advantage of this extra memory, but
what programs use expanded?
I can't put any TSR's up there, right?  So, I'm essencially doomed
to making it a ram-disk (which is nice for all those swap files
and such)
If I had another operating system (like say unix), could 
it use this extra 360k?
Anybody got any suggestions on other uses for expanded memory?
