Memory
The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS.
Base Memory
The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in
the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512K for systems with 512K memory
installed on the motherboard, or 640K for systems with 640K or more memory installed on the
motherboard.
Extended Memory
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the
amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU's memory address map.
Expanded Memory
Expanded Memory is memory defined by the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft (LIM) standard as EMS.
Many standard DOS applications can not utilize memory above 640K, the Expanded Memory
Specification (EMS) swaps memory which is not utilized by DOS with a section, or frame, so
these applications can access all of the system memory. Memory can be swapped by EMS is
usually 64K within 1MB or memory above 1MB, depending on the chipset design.
Expanded memory device driver is required to use memory as Expanded Memory.
Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the system will be stopped
and you will be prompted.
The system boot will not be stopped for any error that may be detected.
The system boot will not stop for a keyboard error; it will stop for all
other errors.
The system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will stop for all other
errors.
The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or disk error; it will stop
