Memory
This sub-menu is display-only, which is determined by POST of the BIOS.
Base Memory
From the system boot, the POST will find how much base (or conventional) memory
is installed on your system. The value of base memory is typically the same amount
as installed on the mainboard.
Extended Memory
During the POST the BIOS will determine how much of extended memory is on the
system. This is the amount of memory located above the 1MB in the CPU’s memory
address map.
Other Memory
Other Memory is describing memory located in the 640K to 1024K address space.
This is memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to load
device drivers in an effort to keep as much base memory free for application
programs. RAM is most frequently used by the BIOS are since this is where it
shadows RAM.
