Subject: Problem of breaking DOS 640K RAM limit?

I have an IBM AT compatible with 512K on board.  Recently I installed another
512K to bring it up to 1 Meg. and found out it a waste for anything over 640K.
I am using DOS 3.3 which only recognizes 640K RAM.  The only thing I can do is
to create a ram drive which is useless to me.  I know PS/2 50s can address 1
Meg. without any problem.  Is there a way to 'tell' the system to use the extra
384K memory as normal?  I am using the Microsoft Windows/286 and know it can't
be so powerful if I have only 640K RAM.

Any comments on this problem would be appreciated.  I will post the solutions
if there are enough responses.  Please e-mail me or post in the net.  Thanks!
