I managed to soak up extra memory when installing 98SE by using Japheth's HIMEMX driver, coupled with XMSDISK: In AUTOEXEC.BAT: SET TEMPDRIVE=S SET TEMPSIZE=768000 C:\XMS\XMSDISK\XMSDSK %TEMPDRIVE%: %TEMPSIZE% /y /t Gives you a 768MB RAMdrive as drive letter S: The drive is loaded in the *top* of XMS.
