I get nearly the entire 640k with

A;\himem.sys
A:\emm386.exe ram
files=50
buffers=50
dos=high,umb
devicehigh=c:\windows\setver.exe
devicehigh=(Your cd driver)

This of course indicated that I like to use a boot disk. I copy himem.sys 
and emm386.exe to the disk. Hope this helps. Hope I am not intruding.
