I have a question about ram on a 286 motherboard..
I can install dip ram and SIP ram..
I think iam going choose DIP because its easier to get these days..
otherwise i also could use SIP instead if dip would hard to get.
The motherboard support a option to use it as normal 640KB conventional and xxxx as EMS ram. Or 640KB and xxxx as extended memory
Now its configured as 640KB conventional memory and 384 extended memory..
I know that a AT compatible only can use extended memory in protected mode.. I want to know.. does it make sense to add ram to create extended memory on a 286 (i know windows would use extended memory)
~ At least it can do black and white~
