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.

I think HIMEM.SYS will only convert 64K exTended memory to High Mem. It will convert the rest exTend memory to XMS. QEMM can fill the High Mem gaps with exTended memory. Jun
