- This is a the most common FAQ (frequently asked question) I know of. When
- you turn 32 bit off, the most memory that can be used is 8 MB. Since you
- have 20 MB installed, 12 MB can't be used under the 24-bit Memory Manager.
- The excess memory is added to the amount of memory the System is actually
- using. Hence, you'll see more than 12 MB for the System.
-
- Update your programs and use the 32-bit Memory Manager.
