DOSX Loads in Conventional AND Upper memory

I have an older Dell Optiplex GX240 and when I do a mem /c |more it shows DOSX loaded only in upper memory using 34K. Now, I have a NEW Dell Optiplex 745 and DOSX is running in Conventional memory using 34k AND in Upper using .01k (128). I need DOSX to run ONLY in upper memory. I have checked my config.nt and autoexec.nt files and everything is set as it should be. actually, those files on the GX240 and the 745 are identical. Can anyone help??

XP Pro SP2. I also reloaded to XP Pro with no SP to see if it was posibly a patch that MS sent down.

It turns out it was the BIOS on the Dell computer. I downgraded the bios one version at a time and finally after the 3rd downgrade, The DOSX went back to normal.
