I have a Packard Bell IS/VT286 motherboard. It came with 2 banks of 41256s soldered on board and 2 banks of 4164s (640k conventional). I replaced the 4164s with 41256s and now the RAM shows up as 512k conventional and 512k extended.
Any way to switch the ratio to get 640k conventional again? Think I will have trouble with DOS programs needing more than 512k of RAM. I am still getting used to 286 memory maps. I have a Laser 286 where I can change the amount of conventional memory.
