ALR 386 Computers with Memory Cache Require EMMExclude

ID: Q68731

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

When you run Microsoft Windows, Advanced Logic Research (ALR) recommends using the "EMMEXCLUDE=" parameter in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file when the memory cache and/or the shadow RAM feature is enabled.

For example:


   [386Enh]
   EMMEXCLUDE=E000-FFFF

MORE INFORMATION

Most newer ALR 386 computers feature a 32K or 64K static memory cache or 128/64 dual memory cache. The cache is always set to the E000-FFFF memory range. Windows should not use this range if this feature is enabled.

The products included here, ALR computers, are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these product's performance or reliability.
