For example, you may have a memory expansion card that needs to be addressed starting at 15 MB. Selecting the 15M – 16M option in the Reserved Memory option specifies that the base memory from 15 to 16 MB come from the memory expansion card (the base memory below the 15-MB address comes from the dual in-line memory modules [DIMMs] on the system board).
