DOS Flat Mode
Common Options : Enabled, Disabled
Quick Review
This BIOS feature controls the BIOS' built-in extended memory manager.
When enabled, DOS programs can run in protected mode without the need of an extended memory manager.
When disabled, DOS programs require an extended memory manager to run in protected mode.
It is recommended that you enable this BIOS feature if you use the MS-DOS operating system and run protected mode DOS programs.
However, if you use a newer operating system that supports protected mode (for example, Windows XP, disable this BIOS feature.
