[comp.os.msdos.programmer] QRAM VS. QEMM

jdb@reef.cis.ufl.edu (Brian K. W. Hook) (02/04/91)

I am using a 386 and QEMM386.  However, since I am running into conflicts
with other protected mode programs, I was wondering whether or not it would
be better if I switched to QRAM.  

What benefits does QEMM have that QRAM doesn't?  All I am doing is loading
my device drivers high.  I don't configure any EMS except for specific 
applications and then I boot off of a special boot floppy to configure
all my memory as EMS.

Thanks,

Brian

QRAM works on EMS cards. If you don't have EMS cards, it'll do little for you.
QEMM works on 386 and convert exTended memory to High Mem.
