In this fairly short video, we go through the steps in using MS-DOS MEMMAKER to free up as much conventional DOS 640K memory as possible.

The version seen here is MS-DOS 6.22 on a 486 with 83MHz Pentium Overdrive and 16 MB RAM.

This was a fairly common issue for running some of the more "advanced" games in the early 1990's before the use of such programming methods as DOS/4G and 4GW commonly seen in games like Quake and Doom for instance.

2:12 Running MEMMAKER and choosing options
2:58 EMS or just XMS?
4:41 MEMMAKER rebooting to test the configurations
5:55 Looking good with 614K free after final reboot
