I have just increased the memory on the mother board of my PB286 (Packard-Bell)
from 640k to 1M.  When I run the setup program, I specify 640k of base memory,
and 384k of extended memory, and everything seems fine. But when the machine
reboots, it signal a "Memory unmatched" and actually sets 512k of base memory
and 512k of extended memory.  That is not much of a problem for most programs,
but I have a few that really need the 640k.  
Does anybody know of a setup program that allows me to partition the
motherboard memory as 640k base memory and 384k extended memory?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
