Hello all,

	The question I have is this.

	I have a 386-33 Mhz computer and have 4 MB onboard ram. When the
computer boots it checks the 4MB, but when it shows the current CMOS config
it says that I have 640K base memory and 3096K extended memory. I have
set shadow ram for bios and Video Bios. I am using AMI bios and have
a Trident 1MB VGA card.
	
	Does any one know why it says 3096K extended memory and not
3096+384K extended memory.

	Also what is shadow ram compared to normal ram. Does it use normal
ram but it is only reserved for BIOS?


Regard,

Michael
