   Worldgroup 2.0 Memory Limit?   
   06 Apr 07 09:10:53   
   
   From: thorin@ptd.net   
      
   So i came into some new hardware for my board.  Its currently on an old   
   486, with 16MB of ram.  The new machine is a PIII-667, with 256MB of ram.   
      
   I had this notion that i would install a bare bone linux install, and   
   vmware. Then install dos, and copy my board into the VM.   
      
   So I set the whole thing up, and installed a new copy of WG2 into the vm   
   to test it out before i go live with it.   
      
   Well, it seems that the software just doesnt like more than 16MB of ram.   
     If i turn the memory in the VM up to anything higher, the board   
   crashes when i try to launch the board. The "Phar Lap's dos extender"   
   box pops up, tells me how much memory there is, and then throws some   
   memory addresses below it, and hangs.   
      
   So is this just becasue i'm running in vmware? Or does the board not   
   like tons of memory?   
      
   Thanks.
