Go with your "gut" feeling here, and see if your right.
My A+ book says sometimes it's good to go with a gut feeling on
a system problem. 640K I think is system memory, which is on the MB.
Fact, I'm sure of it, 640K is system memory, the system memory is
not shaking hands with something. & it Very well could be the (CPU)
After all these years, one thing I've not seen them even try to get rid of
is that 640K of a MB memory, if I can remember, you can run small
Programs off of it, but just small EXE's Doom, Doom2
I think it's called system cach..
