To get that much conventional RAM free, you'll need to put some stuff out of the way first.

In your CONFIG.SYS file, you'll need ...

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
DOS=HIGH,UMB

This'll stuff things in HMA, freeing conventional RAM.

In your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, change LOAD to LOADHIGH, leaving conventional RAM unused.

You should find this gives you about 600K conventional RAM free. Test it with the MEM command.
