Figure 11 - Extended Memory Map

3.7.1.2.1 Main

Memory

All installed memory greater than 1 MB is mapped to local main memory, up to 8 GB of physical
memory. Memory between 1 MB to 15 MB is considered to be standard ISA extended memory.
1 MB of memory starting at 15 MB can be optionally mapped to the PCI bus memory space.

The remainder of this space, up to 8 GB, is always mapped to main memory, unless TBSG
SMM is used which just under TOLM. The range can be from 128KB till 1MB. 1MB depends on
the BIOS setting C SMRAM is used which limits the top of memory to 256MB. BIOS occupies
512KB for 32bit SMI handler.

3.7.1.2.2 PCI

Memory

Space

Memory addresses below 4 GB range are mapped to the PCI bus. This region is divided into
three sections: High BIOS, APIC Configuration Space, and General-purpose PCI Memory. The
General-purpose PCI Memory area is typically used memory-mapped I/O to PCI devices. The
memory address space for each device is set using PCI configuration registers.
