And here is the kicker...In Windows I couldn't run more than 800x640 res, while in
Linux I can go 1024x724. Figure that out, eh?
This is a function of the video drivers you have installed on both
operating systems. You could fix it in Windows but you have to go to
a different conference for

Hi Dennis,
I didn't have any trouble when I installed Mandrake on my machine at
work. It too has 128MB RAM. I think though it's got something to do with
the mobo that's being used. I guess some do and some don't.

We have identical motherboards and the mobo detects all of my ram -- go
figure ;-)

Here is what worked for me.
Log in as root to edit your "lilo.conf" file.
Add the following line;
append="mem=128M"
I put mine just after the line "timeout" line.
Run lilo

Edit your /etc/lilo.conf and put in "append=mem=128M" I think.
Double-check the archives for this. Strangely enough, Mandrake 6.0
sees all 192 megs of memory in my system. :-)
My lilo.conf file has the syntax looking a little different:
append="mem=128M"
Maybe this is an aesthetic thing. I don't know if both ways work.
