600KB? That is a lot and I doubt you will get the other 40KB free.

This depends on what you mean by "under DOS". Back when I had Win98 I had a dual boot and I would recommend you do the same. You need to do some editing of the Config.sys and autoexec.bat files. Do some searching on the internet on how to set it up (cause I, for the life of me, don't recall how to do it).

I always had to use Boot disks to get games to run (mostly dos games that needed a lot of mem).
I used to use Quemm or something to manage my memory wonce I got Win95 and I didn't have to use boot disks anymore.
