[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Expanded Memory vs. Extended Memory

mm@lectroid.sw.stratus.com (Michael Mahler) (05/22/91)

	I've got a Dell System 200 with an extended memory board.
	I'm also running Windows 3.0.

	Problem:  I like to use the "chess" desktop (selected from
	the Control Panel).  Problem is, it appears that unless I load 
	"himem.sys" Windows is unable to load the "chess" bitmap
	although it IS able to load "pyramids", "paper", etc.  I'm
	assuming that "chess" requires more memory and it uses the
	64k that's made available by "himem.sys".  Is this a correct
	assumption (seems to be by trial and error)?  If it is,
	can I somehow make some of the 4 meg of extended memory
	on the card available for this the same way "himem.sys" does?

	Michael
