Re: System sees only 65M of memory

[Jason Quigley <jasonq@usa.net>]

Does your bios have the setting memory hole at 64M activated?  I'm not sure if 
that's the exact option.  I only vaguely remember something like that as I 
haven't rebooted for such a long time - and sorry - I refuse to for this!  ;-)

Cheers,
Jason.
