Subject: memory under win95

I am having problems using memory under windows 95.  Basically I have 
32MB of ram and when I use the go32_dpmi_remaining_physical_memory() it 
only returns about 16MB of ram available.  Is this due to the windows 
dpmi program? If so, is there any way I can force my program to use 
cswdpmi? I have read that I can change the memory settings in windows in 
the properties menu, but I am writing a game and it would be very 
unproffessional to tell people that they must first alter the memory 
settings.
I know that there is also a lot of virtual memory, but isn't this slower 
than the physical memory?
