  | Video  | This item specifies the type of  | EGA/VGA | 
  | 
  | 
  | video card in use. The default  | CGA 40  | 
  | 
  | 
  | setting is VGA/EGA. Since current  | CGA 80  | 
  | 
  | 
  | PCs use VGA only, this function is  | MONO | 
  | 
  | 
  | almost useless and may be  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | disregarded in the future.  |

  | Base Memory  | Refers to the portion of memory  | N/A  | 
  | 
  | 
  | that is available to standard DOS  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | programs. DOS systems have an  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | address space of 1 MB, but the  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | top 384 KB (called high memory)  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | is reserved for system use. This  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | leaves 640 KB of conventional  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | memory. Everything above 1 MB  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | is either extended or expanded  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | memory.  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | Extended Memory  | Memory above and beyond the  | N/A  | 
  | 
  | 
  | standard 1 MB (megabyte) of base  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | memory that DOS supports.  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | Extended memory is not  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | configured in any special manner  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | and is therefore unavailable to  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | most DOS programs. However,  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | MS Windows and OS/2 can use  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | extended memory.  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | Total Memory  | Total base, and extended memory,  | N/A  | 
  | 
  | 
  | and I/O ROM 384KB available to  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | the system.  |
