Hi,

I recently upgraded my P90PCI by doubling the memory from 16 meg to 32 meg.
While I don't see a lot of difference in terms of opening Windows, applications do
seem to run faster than before.  Now, here is my question:  rmview /mem shows 
00008000 which is 32meg.  But cnfginfo 4.0 shows 16 meg ram.  So, why does one 
utility recognize the additional memory, but the other does not?  Do I need to 
perform some configuration?

tia,

Brian

If I remember correctly, you have to configure Cnfginfo _manually_, so it 
wouldn't recognize the change until you told it so.

Yes, that's right, Scott.  I just went from 8 to 20 Megs, and found that out by
playing...it's nice.

What is Cnfginfo?  I can't find a file anywhere in my OS/2 boot disk
with that name.
