It should, but I've got the case open and a 512MB module in a drawer anyway. Physically limiting the ram during install just eliminates another variable. As for the ramdisk, that was initially set up largely just to put the extra memory to use since it's there.

Man, this two lines ->
Must be removed when you use my patcher
That was just a test in a virtual machine. The patcher didn't seem to mind at all, though. The patch works in the VM regardless of whether or not those lines are there.
The lines were not added for the test on actual hardware. System.ini was untouched, but the VFAT lockup still happened during reboot.

You can do one experiment?
Couldn't hurt.
I followed your instructions, but did not get far.
On step 2, when trying to run 4G_Enabler:
Also- I just found out that the commercial VMM patcher has an option to load the VXDs in VMM32 outside the lower memory area, freeing up more of the first 16MB for memory tables and other drivers. I'll try experimenting with the demo of that to test my hypothesis.
