The BIOS memory check reports 640k, so I'm wondering if there really is 768k available somehow, or if it was just cheaper to use 256k chips and leave a few k unused. Has anyone ever run into this before? Is anyone familar with any other boards that allowed the use of 256k parts in place of the 64k chips in order to add some upper memory? Does anyone have any DOS utilities or ELKS utilities that would test for upper RAM even though the BIOS says it's not there? Thanks. Dan
