It is possible that this is a BIOS issue. I have never worked on a
machine that has more than 64MB of physical memory installed, so I
don't have any real experience here. You can have more than 64MB of
total DPMI memory, of that I'm sure, but if you need more than 64MB
*physical* memory, then it is possible that the BIOS just doesn't
report more than 64MB (the format of the CMOS data overflows at 64MB).
