Memory
You cannot change any values in the Memory fields; they are only
for your information. The fields show the total installed random
access memory (RAM) and amounts allocated to base memory,
extended memory, and other (high) memory. RAM is counted in
kilobytes (KB: approximately one thousand bytes) and megabytes
(MB: approximately one million bytes).
RAM is the computer's working memory, where the computer
stores programs and data currently being used, so they are accessi-
ble to the CPU. Modern personal computers may contain up to 64
MB, 128 MB, or more.
•Base Memory
Typically 640 KB. Also called conventional memory. The DOS
operating system and conventional applications use this area.
