L.>I am looking for the answer for the following problem:
L.>Recently I bought a 486/33 PC with 4M RAM running DOS 5.0.
L.>I checked memory using mem/c and the following is the result:
L
L.>Conventional Memory :
L.>
L.>  Name                Size in Decimal       Size in Hex
L.>-------------      ---------------------   -------------
L
L.>Total  FREE :       604368      (590.2K)
L.>
L.>Upper Memory :
L.>
L.>  Name                Size in Decimal       Size in Hex
L.>-------------      ---------------------   -------------

L.>Total  FREE :         5160      (  5.0K)
L.>
L*********************************************************************
L.>
L.>Every thing seems fine except some upper memory blocks are missing (?)
L.>From what I understand (reading the DOS 5.0 manual), I should have
L.>1024 k - 640 k = 384 k upper memory blocks. But the output of mem/c 
L.>command only showed 191.8 k (160  + 22.4 + 4.1 + 0.3 + 5.0).
L.>I am confused. Help please.

Where do I begin. First, you won't get a full 384K. Some of that memory 
address is for video and some may be retained for the BIOS. I get over 
200K in this area but that is just a guide. For your convenience, I am 
following with my MEM/C (I get 629.1K of conventional free and I load 
absolutely everything in UMB), CONFIG.SYS, and AUTOEXEC.BAT.
