Zane,

OS/2 sees ram differently. Jump into your CMOS screen and look for
OS/2 greater than 64MB or like and turn that on. On decent boards
bios has this option and I know for sure on Asus boards.

My opinion: OS/2 Warp is where winblows should been had like this.

Far simpler and sensiable design.

Well, anybody have one or to download?

Cheers,

Wizard
