Base Memory

Refers to the portion of memory 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 standard 1 MB

 

 

(megabyte) 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 base, and extended memory, and I/O ROM 384KB

 

 

available to the system.
