This is very interesting. Should I be looking for a 32 Mb RAM chip to
replace the 64 Mb chip?
My homebuilt Win98 Lite desktop definitely worked better with 128 Mb
than with 512 so i wouldn't be surprised to discover similar behavior
with the 560.
I just checked (ran mem in a DOS box) and it reported 39K used?
That can't be right, Windows System Monitor says 113 Mb Allocated
memory? I thought I had 96 Mb total?
Well as they say in the artillery I've got it bracketed now, I'm using
somewhere between 39 and 113,000 Kb....
Is there a better tool to look at memory use?
