I have got an 20mhz AT clone with Award BIOS. I also have 1 meg of extended RAM for a total of 2 MEG RAM. The problem I have is that I cannot run Windows and PageMaker. PM refuses to open under Windows telling me there is not enough memory. It seems like the machine (or software) is not recognizing my extended RAM. I am new to the AT world and the business of extended RAM. Could some kind sole out there explain to me what the problem might be. Please reply directly to me as I don't read this newsgroup regularly. Thank you in advance -- Saiid Paryavi Computer Science Dept.

Windows will not recognize extended memory. You need to install an expanded memory driver that will treat your extended memory as expanded memory. I don't know where you can get such a driver. I got my machine from Dell with a memory expansion kit and it came with an expanded memory driver. Hope this helps. -- Rajiv Malhotra bdarm@amdcad.AMD.COM (512) 462-5270
