It depends on the HIMEM.SYS driver. This driver is responsable to make the
extended memory available to 16 bit Windows versions. Older versions of
HIMEM.SYS limit the amout of accessible memory to 16 mb, independent from
the used Windows version. More recent version have bypassed this
limitation. There are some exception for several MCA/EISA machines as well.
