Got a friend with a Dimension 8400. He has turned into into a dedicated DOS box for a project. He is running MS-DOS 7.10 on an 8 GB flash drive on the Dimension, booting as an HDD. The DOS machine has a 10 GB hard drive.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, for some reason&#8230;without any programs running it hogs all the RAM. He is trying to install a Soundblaster Card but he cannot because there is no memory Free. How do we get DOS to stop hogging all the memory?
