Hey peeps. I was wondering if you guys knew about any DOS programs that completely Flushes your RAM. That would be quite the handy application if I do say so myself. Because I know that when ever you restart, your comp does not completely Clear your RAM. That it only FULLY flushes it when it reaches 98%

Any operating system is going to use up SOME ram, and whatever is in your config.sys and autoexec.bat (in a MS-DOS system), and whatever is in the OTHER startup/config files for Whenox is going to use SOME RAM.

Try using
http://www.memtest86.com/
... there is also a DOS version
of an old MEMTEST86. You cannot
return from any MemTest86 version
to DOS, because it overwrites all
memory. You have to reboot after
using it. But still it is probably
what you wanted.

You can also try FreeDOS HIMEM from
the command line and run the test
memory thing (you first have to LOAD
HIMEM as a device driver from config.sys
of course).
