|
| 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 |
