Hi Bernd, everybody,
let me add some more comments to this interesting DOS
thread and wish everybody a happy 2012 as well... :-)
1. Would like to ask how much memory does FreeDOS support, e.g. 4 GiB?
If you have 4 GB or more, many mainboards will map your
graphics card RAM etc to the end of

1. Would like to ask how much memory does FreeDOS support, e.g. 4 GiB?
2. Does it faces 640 KiB limitation as MS-DOS, e.g. Do I have to load
high drivers to save on conventional memory?
3. Does it support usage of a swap file/partition?

Yes you'll be limited to a maximum of 4GB if you have 4GB or more. In

3.3GB or 3.5GB) due to PCI chipset

Thanks for all the fast replies. I think my question is misunderstood.
Load high is a MS-DOS technique to load drivers in the upper memory

It's an open source clone of MS-DOS, which is a 16 bit real mode OS.
It can see up to one megabyte of RAM as usable memory. Beyond that,
