Does anyone know how to expand memory?

Does anyone know how to expand memory for games? I was playing Prince of Persia 2 with sound blaster sounds on but it won't work if I don't expand the memory for it. Does anyone know how to do this?

I've been waiting for hours (maybe) and you reply with "Heat it up on the stove..."!

Pirate Jack: Not cool man, not cool.  You've been around here long enough to know the rules.


Largo:  I'm not sure what you're asking, but if the game actually needs more physical  RAM to function then you'll have to buy some and physically install it.

It may be that the gaame requires expanded memoory to work, which was a DOS thing, and I'm not too sure how it works  now under various windows operating systems.

If you're using windows you can look at the properties menu of the *.EXE and fiddle around with the memory settings there.

If that doesn't work you could try and download DOSBox but I don't know if you can change the different types of memory. I think you might only be able to change the amount it uses.

DOSbox is awesome . Just remember to overclock it using ctrl+F12 or it will run choppy and laggy
