2) on NEW HW it works fine. In modern machines (mostly from PCI and P133 up) upper memory area is not encombered with anything. Before that QEMM's optimiser was the only way to make good use of UMB, but now any conservative auto setup will just set one chunk that goes from the video ROM to the BIOS ROM and that is just as good as you can get !!!

Alain, you must be having a simple machine with no option roms then :)
SCSI takes UMB space, and so do PXE ROM, SerialATA controller, etc. my last machine only had 4KB UMB space or so..
