DUMB question time

In system Bios what is "Boot to os over 64m"?
I have 128m memory should I enable it?? Thanks-gene

I think that option was made for a problem found in IBM's propietary OS called OS/2 (one of my favorites). Win9x, Linux, etc. for what I know don't need to be enable, but I could be wrong so wait for more replies for an accurate answer.

I run VIA bios. In my bios, it says over 64mb OS2/nonOS2. The way OS2 handles memory above 64 megs differs than the way windoze does. You want to select non os2. So if it sayd something about os/os2, I would leave it un-enabled...

I was just wondering if I should "enable" cause I have more than 64M of memory--thanks gene

A close friend once shared with me this bit of philosophy - "you can educate the ignorant, but there's nothing you can do for stupid people." -

The question was a good one - only stupid people don't ask questions. Keep-um coming.

I think what it means is if you run OS/2 then enable. Look in your MB guide..
