Hi all, sorry if this is a FAQ.

Throughout the life of my clone, I've had problems with programs which need
to have a full 640K memory present.  They say I only have 636K memory installed.
That's not really possible; my pc is here dissected on the table, and the 
chips add up to, you guessed it: 640K.  
The reason this is so troublesome is that part of a program called qram from
Quarterdeck needs 640K (exactly) to allow you to utilize your VGA ram as 
base memory.  This missing 4K prevents me from adding 96K to my base memory.
(sniff sniff)

Does anybody have any ideas/clues/hints/feedback/flames?
