What version of QEMM are you using?  MANIFEST and QEMM-386 v.5.0 has a
good chance of giving you more RAM than before; I presume you're using a
whole VGA card so you can't reclaim 64K or 90K.  But you should be able
to get 64-128K "up above" the 640K range.  How big's the driver for this
new card?  (drivers?)

In the case of the 4mbps cared, you can reclaim all but about 4K of the
boot PROM after startup--the guys at Quarterdeck have an app. note on
it.
