Reserved Memory allows you to designate a region of system board memory that can be supplied by an expansion card. You should not enable the reserved memory feature unless you are using an expansion card that requires special addressing.

For example, you may have a memory expansion card that needs to be addressed starting at 15 MB. Selecting the 15MB-16MB setting in the Reserved Memory option specifies that the base memory from 15 MB to 16 MB comes from the memory expansion card (the base memory below the 15-MB address comes from the dual in- line memory modules [DIMMs] on the system board).

The Reserved Memory option has the following settings:
