Hi All,
When I went into the DOS mode and typed MEM, I got the
following response:
Memory Type Total Used Free
---------------- -------- --------
--------
Conventional 640K 80K 560K
Upper 0K 0K 0K
Reserved 0K 0K 0K
Extended (XMS) 65,535K ? 92,976K
---------------- -------- --------
--------
Total memory 66,175K ? 93,536K
Total under 1 MB 640K 80K 560K
Total Expanded (EMS) 64M (67,108,864
bytes)
Free Expanded (EMS) 16M (16,777,216
bytes)
Largest executable program size 560K (573,840 bytes)
Largest free upper memory block 0K (0 bytes)
MS-DOS is resident in the high memory area.
I do not understand the listing for Extended Memory,
which shows the basic 64-MB of memory in Bank 0, but it
shows a question mark in the used column! I also have
32-MB in Bank 1, but that is added to the basic to show a
total "Free" amount of the combined memories.
Does anyone know where I can get a detailed explanation
of this DOS memory listing? I need to know whether all of
my RAM memory is actually usable.
The above readings did not change after I activated the
Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer, MS-DOS mode, and
WordPerfect programs.
