[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Extended vs. Expanded memory

jseidman@jarthur.Claremont.EDU (James Seidman) (02/27/90)

I'm planning on buying a 386 system to replace my current XT-class machine.
What I was wondering is whether programs like Windows/386 will use
motherboard memory properly, or if I need to get a EMS driver.  Does anyone
out there know?

I have 286/12 with 2 Mb RAM on motherboard. I could set either extended
or expanded (using software)
For windows, you could set to extended memory and use smart drive
(included in Windows). Don't forget to run Mem Set when you installed
Windows
