Checking System Memory

Your computer comes with 2MB or 4MB of random access

memory (RAM) on SIMMs. DOS and application programs that

run under DOS use the first 640KB of memory. You can use the

memory above 1MB as extended memory.

When you boot your system, the system BIOS detects the type

of RAM and updates the base memory size and the extended

memory size automatically. You see the memory configuration

displayed on this SETUP screen.
