Yes you'll be limited to a maximum of 4GB if you have 4GB or more. In practice this maximum could be anywhere between 2GB and 4GB (usually 3.3GB or 3.5GB) due to PCI chipset device mapping into the top of memory. > 2. Does it faces 640 KiB limitation as MS-DOS, e.g. Do I have to "load > high" drivers to save on conventional memory? yes. To access beyond 640KB load a driver (XMGR, HIMEMX, whatever) to access extended memory (XMS). > 3. Does it support usage of a swap file/partition? Not by itself. DJGPP programs seem to support a swapfile if CWSDPMI is being used as extender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once. Port to many.
