If your PC is seeing all the RAM, you probably have a modern PC with is equiped with a chipset that enables your motherboard to utilise the installed RAM you have, in non ECC mode. If you do need to check, you can download http://www.os2site dot com/sw/util/system/sysinfo088.zip or Dani's updated patchldr (updated) from http://www.os2site dot com/sw/util/memory/patchldr.zip It has a small utility to check the ram but you will need to boot to DOS using either another partition on your PC, or from Diskette.

It's a command line proggy like the dos "mem" command. -----Original Message----- From: Ian Manners [SMTP:ianatos2site dot com] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 2:07 AM To: os2genauatos2 dot org dot au Subject: Re: [os2genau] ram Hi Steve >Hi, a simple one I hope but can't think of it. >Grey matter getting older.

I wouldn't have a clue....

I disagree ( a little ) - I see the addition of capabilities to OS/2 as an advancement to Operating System. If I have to stop using what I regard as my base system and restart it just to be able run a windo$e program - in this case to view a DVD, I think the whole concept of multitasking on a system is lost.
