quite possibly the worst offender from origin was bio forge which required like 602k of the 640k just to load and start their memory manager software. you had to load every driver in extended memory and hope your mouse driver could load in extended memory or else no mouse for the game. I believe some older Logitech mouse drivers could not load in extended memory.
