Hello. I just bought a Gateway 2000 20Mhz 386 system...It comes standard w/
4 Megs, 65MB HD, VGA, etc...Quite a nice machine. However, I've been thinking
of buying windows 386 for it, and I've got a couple of questions. My memory is
configured as extended memory, and drivers came w/ the system that configure
it as expanded. Now, how will Windows use this memory? Would it need extended,
or expanded? Would I be able to make use of the full 4 Megs, so that I could 
have, say like 8 500K applications running at once? What about the Windows/286?
How does that use memory?

I think it would be best to reply by E-mail...Thanks much...

Mark
