can some ibmpc-guru advise me how i could configure my ibm compatible system
with 4M RAM so that i could use memory beyond 640K. i was trying to use
some application software which couldn't run because there wasn't enough
memory. i am wondering if i could expand my memory ( i already have 4M
installed, but they are 'extended memory') so that i could run several
application programs at the same time? do i need a memory manager or
i can do that with dos. i have 80386 33MHz system with 4.01 DOS.
thanks a lot.

I am in the exact same situation. I just bought my computer last week and this week I intend to try to use the software ABOVE 386 to put all my device drivers as high in memory as possible. If anyone has advice on this method or others, could you inform me as well?
