base memory is typically 512 Kfor systems with 512K memory
installed on the motherboard, or 640K for systems with 640K or
more memory installed on the motherboard.

The BIOS determines how much extended memory is presented

1MB in the CPU's memory address map.

standard as EMS. Many standard DOS applications can not
utilize 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 which can be swapped by EMS is
above 640K. The
