Please tell me I wasn't the only one that had a special boot floppy made just to eek enough memory to run that one program that really needed all 4MB of memory?
Note, I had spent a ton of time getting my memory config right. I remember I had it booting up completely with 620Kb of the 640k free as I had managed to push everything into the upper memory area,
Yep, I remember spending hours on the main system and trying to optimize it. I remember having one game that no matter how well optimized the main system was. It was so close on what it used that removing the cdrom driver from the boot configs allowed it to run. Finding out about virtual memory was the best thing ever.
