The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 4.01, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0, 6.2, 6.21
- Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Versions of HIMEM.SYS earlier than 3.10 may not recognize more than 64 megabytes
(MB) of memory on EISA bus computers.
CAUSE
=====
This is because HIMEM.SYS does not recognize EISA memory blocks that start
between 64 MB and 65 MB. On these machines, HIMEM.SYS only sees 64 MB of
memory.
NOTE: MS-DOS 6.2 and Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 provide HIMEM.SYS
version 3.10.
