Expanded Memory

Expanded Memory (EMS) defines a 64 K page frame in the area between 640K and 1Mb containing four 16K pages that are windows into the EMS memory. Programs issue requests to the EMS manager to switch the page to any part of EMS memory. Extended memory can be converted to emulate EMS by using a memory manager such as EMM386 that ships with Windows and DOS.

Other Memory

This refers to memory located in the 640K to 1024K ad dress space. This memory can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much conventional memory free for application programs as possible.
