All three samples share same HDD image, I wish I could set the 86Box/PCem to make the memory management similar to how it is done in DOSBox X.

In DOSBox X the high memory seems to be better managed, most of drivers is loaded to high as expected. I'm hoping I can configure the rest to work similar to this. Loading some games as Bumpy with insufficient lower memory results with heavy display artifacts. Even though I can run the game after unloading some of the drivers, I wonder if it is possible to keep it clean and nice as in DOSBox X.
I know I'm not using other tools to manage memory right now, but it seems the problem is in the settings I cannot figure out.
The language is not English but I'm sure it is intuitive enough.
