I'd add: if "append = "mem=xxxM" doesn't work, try adding a
space, eg, "append = " mem=xxxM" Also, it's a motherboard/bios
difficiency that causes all the installed ram not to be seen. In
these cases it's a good idea to subtract one MB, append = " mem=127M"
'Couse if onboard video is used, that ram should also be subtracted.
