Not so!  I've been using OS/2 with 128MB for the last two years.  It works
like a charm under various motherboards.  The problem I described came
about only after flashing the BIOS of the Soyo SY-5EMA+.  Before the
flashing OS/2 saw all 128MB, after the bios flash OS/2 saw only 64.  A
really weird situation I have never before seen.  I have resolved the
issue by returning to the earlier bios version I was using before.

However, thanks for the input in any case.

P.S. You are however quite right that OS/2 is a better OS than WIN9X :)
