Dear... How can I tell how much of my ram WFWG recognizes. I'm told that the maximum is 64mbs? Which value identifies my ram? Is it the cache size in the virtual memory window or ???? If it is the cache size, the maximum this value will go to is 24mb. Thanks, John

"I'm told that the maximum is 64mbs" Wrong! 64MB is MS-DOS 6.x's memory limit. Most newer versions of MS-DOS (e.g. 7.10) will recognize much more memory than 64MB. WFW still relies on DOS as it's a GUI program for DOS. Upgrade your DOS if necessary. Win3.1's own memory limit is 512MB.

Hi Wengier, Thanks for the link. I won't pretend to understand what it says, but I did get something from it. So then, what does the cache setting in the virtual memory window refer to? And how can I determine what to set it at? It can be set anywhere from 0 to 24mb. I noticed with my laptop, which has a 486 processor and only 4mb of ram, that the lower I set this value the faster the machine would go, although this doesn't seem to apply to the machine we're discussing here (232mhz/128mb ram).

RAM above 64 Mb can be used in DOS 6.x! Using only HIMEM.SYS that comes with Windows 98 (or 95) in DOS 6.x will give you more memory than 64 Mb, even if the MEM command doesn´t display it. In my 128 Mb system I have made a virtual drive (ramdisk) that is 64 Mb in size and the MEM command still gives 64 Mb of memory. The environment variables TMP and TEMP are set to this ramdisk in my system.......

Hi Soedesh, A 64 meg ramdisk, what a good idea. Thanks, John
