I am planning to use OS/2, but I have to upgrade my 1 meg RAM to 4 meg RAM. It is kind of expensive for me. So I want to ask if OS/2 would use expanded memory? I want to use expanded memory instead of extanded memory because I don't have to spend too much memory. The expanded memory that I am talking about is the one that uses hard disk space. Thanks in advance. Eddie Wu

The Expanded memory that is on your disk is created by a device driver that will not run under OS/2. 4MB is not really necessary for 1.3, but it sure is nice.
