Windows 98 Second Edition - MS-DOS Upper Memory

Hello,

When I start my Windows 98 Second Edition into MS-DOS only, or use
an MS-DOS session inside Windows, it reports my total amount of upper
memory as only 111k.

I have DOS=HIGH,UMB, DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS and DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS
in my CONFIG.SYS, and any other TSRs (DISPLAY.SYS and KEYB.COM) are
being loaded high.

Now, am I mistaken or am I supposed to have 384k of upper memory
available? All I can remember is that when using other versions of
MS-DOS I had considerably more space for TSRs, and I have seen reports
of Window 98 (and Second Edition) machines having more total upper
memory.

This small 111k means I can only load a few programs like DOSLFN
and MSCDEX and so on, and then my conventional memory starts getting
eaten. Could this be my cheap RAM or motherboard? I am just
suspicious that I'm supposed to have more than 111k.

I would appreciate any help, comments, solutions or causes anyone
could offer. Thank you in advance!
