[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Extended Memory: How to acess it ?

ak7g@eesun3.ee.Virginia.EDU (Ashish Kapur) (02/04/91)

I have a 386-25MHZ clone.
I recently installed 1M of DRAMS( 4 256x9 SIPPS ). ( Now I have 2M of
RAM ).

At boot up the extended memory is correctly identified, but it seems that 
my application software is unable to access the extra 1M.
I included the line
DEVICE=c:\himem.sys

in my config.sys file.
But I am still not sure whether the application programs that i am
running are able to access the memory.
Any info would be appreciated.
Please respond to ak7g@virginia.edu
Thanks in advance.

Whether or not you can access extended memory is highly dependant on
the application you're running.  Look in the user's guide to see if
it supports extended memory at all, and if so, how to configure it.
