Extended memory is the memory above 1MB that is accessed by
the protected mode of the 80286 microprocessor. Some
application programs and operating systems (like MS OS/2) use
extended memory.
Expanded memory is usable memory beyond the 640KB
conventional memory limit of MS-DOS. With a special
memory manager (a type of device driver), some MS-DOS
application programs that conform to the Lotus®/Intel®/
Microsoft Expanded Memory Specification (LIM EMS) can use
expanded memory.
