4.3.7 Memory

You cannot change any values in the Memory fields; they are only for your information. The

fields show the total installed random access memory (RAM) and amounts allocated to base

memory, extended memory, and other (high) memory. RAM is counted in kilobytes (KB:

approximately one thousand bytes) and megabytes (MB: approximately one million bytes).

RAM is the computer's working memory, where the computer stores programs and data

currently being used, so they are accessible to the CPU. Modern personal computers may

contain up to 64 MB, 128 MB, or more.

Base Memory

Typically 640 KB. Also called conventional memory. The DOS operating system and

conventional applications use this area.

Extended Memory

Above the 1-MB boundary. Early IBM personal computers could not use memory above 1

MB, but current PCs and their software can use extended memory.

Total Memory

System total memory is the sum of base memory, extended memory, and other memory.
