Base Memory

 

Refers to the option of memory that is available

(called high memory) is reserved for system use.

 

 

 

This leaves 640 KB of conventional memory.

 

 

 

Everything above 1MB is either extended or

 

 

 

extended memory.

 

 

 

 

Extended Memory

Memory above and beyond the standard 1MB of

 

 

 

base memory that DOS supports. Extended

 

 

 

memory is only available in PCs with an Intel

 

 

 

80286 or later microprocessor. 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 based and extended memory, and I/O
