Matthew Billett, Yep that will work too but since EMS memory is only used by some older DOS programs and games an XMS memory configuration is better, until you run into one that MUST have EMS memory, most current DOS games are DOS4G which uses XMS OK. Also an EMS memory configuration reduces the UMB available by 64 KB and Win95 doesn't use EMS anyway. Later Matthew Billett wrote: > In article <33DB9F10...@ct1.nai.net>, "Joseph M.
