Hello Steve
  I thought we discussed this before on the group and that something had
changed to where once again it was best to enable the ">64Meg
option for OS2" in bios.  Naturally since my very first GUI, other
than PCTools for DOS which is more a shell than a true GUI, was OS/2 v2.0
(then, 3, then 4, then 4.5) I am aware that after a time it was no longer
necessary to enable that option.  Aside from what I've read here that IIRC
stated it was necessary again, it was also my understanding that MSI was
the one mobo manufacturer that was truly serious about OS/2 compatibility
and even made a bit of a  big deal about it.  It is one of the reasons I
chose MSI this time over Asus.

  I hope the group sees this and we get lots of replies 'cuz I'd surely
like to have this settled once and for all and possibly even understand
better what that setting actually does and how it may affect other systems
though I don't recall any effects whatever from past experience and I have
always built multi-OS boxes until I decided a few years ago to build a
dedicated OS/2 box, largely because of LVM probs and the lack of support
for modern hardware, and simply network it.  As I said I'd just like to see
this speed demon crunch me some OS/2!
