- I have a IBM model 95 PS/2 with 64 MB RAM installed. OS/2 can detect
- all of it (i.e. DosGetFreeMem returns 55Mb FREE memory when OS/2 is loaded)
- BUT! I'm not quite convinced if OS/2 really can use all of it or if it only
- uses 48 Mb as mentioned in the advertisements...
-
- Conclusion: There is no restriction on the upper 16 meg, but perhaps on the
- amount that exceed 48 meg...
- (Note: this goes for a machine with a 32-bit MCA or EISA bus!)
