what is Go? "Giga octets"? Are you French?

It's unlikely that there is a difference between HimemX and JemmEx.

All the himem's based on FreeDOS Himem have a problem with "holes" in extended memory (mostly the "os/2" hole at F00000h-FFFFFFFh). You can check with tool GETI15EX in HXRT if there is something suspicious with your memory.
