Well (This may just be me), but my guess would be 'no'.  I wrote a program in 
DJGPP to allocate memory and was beta testing it under Windows 95.  The 
machine I was testing it on had 24-Meg RAM and a 545-Meg hard drive.  I was 
able to get up to 22 of the 24 meg before the program came back and said there 
was not enough DPMI memory.  It may be that I was allocating too fast, and the 
DPMI host had a fit, I don't know.

My advice would be "Try it".  What harm could it do?
