Hey so I have a stupid question
I have a 386sx computer, with 1MB of built in RAM, and 1MB of SIMM RAM. In the BIOS, it shows the first 640K of built in RAM as base, obviously, but it will only accept 512k, 1024k, 4096k under extended RAM. Which suggests the remaining 384k of built in RAM is going unutilized. Unless I turn on "Remap shadow RAM", then that 384K shows up under "Remapped RAM"
But it won't let you turn this on if you have hard drive type set to "custom" or "auto", for some reason
