Hello.

I tested some very old games in the DOSBox 0.73, and there is some strange issues here and there. It seems that some programs detects less memory than it is actually.

For example, there is game California Games in 1988. If I select VGA mode, it says that I lack 199 kb - in DOSBox. But the same game, running from Windows XP pass the test with great margin! (it says "You have 170 Kb more than needed"). MEM says 633Kb free memory for DOSBox and 598Kb for XP, so actually it must be vise versa. What can be reason of such problems?
