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 available to the
system.
