Base Memory

Refers to the option of memory that is available
to standard DOS programs. DOS systems have
an address space od 1MB, but the top 384KB
(called high memory) is reserved for system use.
This leaves 640 KB of conventional memory.
Everything above 1MB is either extended or
extended memory.

Extended Memory

Memory above and beyond the standard 1MB of
base memory that DOS supports. Extended
memory is only available in PCs with an Intel
80286 or later microprocessor. Extended
memory is not configured in any special manner
and is therefore unavailable to most DOS
programs. However, MS Windows and OS/2
can use extended memory.

Total Memory

Total based and extended memory, and I/O
ROM 384KB available to the system.
