Checking System Memory
Your computer comes with 2MB or 4MB of random access
memory (RAM) on SIMMs. DOS and application programs that
run under DOS use the first 640KB of memory. You can use the
memory above 1MB as extended memory.
When you boot your system, the system BIOS detects the type
of RAM and updates the base memory size and the extended
memory size automatically. You see the memory configuration
displayed on this SETUP screen.
Setting the Video Display Type
The Video Card option lets you define the type of adapter
you are using for your primary display. If you connected your
monitor to the computer’s built-in VGA port, select EGA/VGA.
If you installed an optional video card, follow the guidelines
below to select the correct adapter type.
