| |
Hi there, I am experiencing problems since i upgraded from 16MB to 32MB. I get "strange & mixed" problems (exception 11 from gcc, unable to open file or corrupted file) as soon i see the "used memory" go over 16 MB.
The cure seems to be to remove the additional 16MB. I don't think I have a faulty simm, since both banks work OK, if alone.
I seem to recall that there was something about a hole around 16MB to be left for use by controllers (SVGA???), but I am unable to find the relevant information anny more.
My system is a Pentium166, PCI VGA S3Trio64V+, SoundBlaster16, Cardinal Modem Internal and the usual on-board peripherals.
I would really appreciate any pointer to pertinent docs.
Thanks for your time Mauro
