Memory:
The category is display-only that is determined by POST (Power
On Self Test) of the BIOS.
Base Memory: The POST will determine the amount of base
(or conventional) memory installed in the
system. The value of the base memory is
typically 512K for systems with 512K memory
installed on the motherboard, or 640K for
systems with 640K or more memory installed
on the motherboard.
Extended Memory: The BIOS determines how much extended
memory is present during the POST. This is
the amount of memory located above 1MB
in the CPU's memory address map.
Total Memory: This refers to the memory located in the 640K
to 1024K address space. This is memory that
can be used for different applications. DOS
uses this area to load device drivers in an effort
to keep as much base memory free for
application programs. The BIOS is the most
frequent user of this RAM area since this is
where it shadows RAM
