| | MS-DOS Memory Issues |
 | | Extended memory can be used as expanded memory by using software and the 80286 or 80386 chips to "remap" it to the lower 1MB. | | | Software that will convert extended memory to expanded memory on an 80286 machine is not written to use the special hardware built into the 80386 chip, so the same type of performance penalty may apply. | | | Most likely this memory is mapped into a region using 386 memory management hardware and software or special chipsets on the motherboard, rather than physically existing there. |

| | These systems have 1 MB of conventional memory on their motherboard, and this extra 384K of "built-in memory" is mapped to the top of extended memory, because the UMA already occupies the upper 384K of conventional memory. | | | This area of memory is controlled exclusively by the extended memory manager (such as HIMEM.SYS), which is in turn called by systems software (such as Windows) and applications software. | | | The extended memory area is an area of memory that is available only on 80286 and 80386 systems. |

| | Expanded Memory (EMS) |
| | Extended memory is the most "natural" way to use memory beyond the first megabyte, because it can be addressed directly and efficiently. | | | In modern systems, the memory that is above 1 MB is used as extended memory (XMS). | | | This concept is called bank-switched memory, and in a way is not all that different from virtual memory, except here the swapping isn't being done to disk but rather to other areas of memory. |

| | Memory controlled by HIMEM.SYS is referred to as XMS (Extended Memory Specification) a standard developed by Lotus, Intel, Microsoft, and AST. | | | XMS (Extended Memory Specification) is a standard for extended memory that was developed jointly by Lotus, Intel, Microsoft and AST. | | | However, this additional memory did not immediately solve the problem because applications were still being written to operate within the 640K barrier.* With the advent of Windows and its ability to effectively make extended memory available to applications, the significance of conventional memory was diminished. |

| | Memory Management Technical Details |
| | Extended memory is a seamless continuation of the original 1 MB address space on 80286/80386 and newer computers. | | | Conventional memory is the first 640K of memory in your machine. | | | LIM 3.2 expanded memory is fine for storing data such as spreadsheets in expanded memory; however, because the LIM 3.2 specification does not allow programs to run in expanded memory, it is not useful for multitasking. |

| | The sampling process is configurable from the host computer to optimize the memory usage for the application. | | | This memory is configurable from the host computer and can be assigned to the four meter ports as needed in 4KB blocks. | | | For history storage applications, the number of bytes to be stored per sample can be varied depending upon the input data rate, (usually pulses/sec. |

| | Determing the amount of available extended memory. |
| | When extended memory is allocated an application will usually hook the int 15h and monitor calls to function 88H; the new interrupt handler will only return the memory that it is not use by the application. | | | This is a result of the method used by memory managers and other applications accessing/using extended. | | | Most Memory Managers will hook interrupt 15h and return a modified result when function 88h is called. |

| | Extended Memory (XMS) |
| | The first 64 KB or so of extended memory is the so-called high memory area (HMA) and is accessible in real mode due to the residual effects of a bug in the original Intel 80286, as described here. | | | This name comes from the fact that this memory was added as an extension to the base 1 MB that represented the limits of memory addressability of the original PC's processor, the Intel 8088. | | | On systems that use this system, part of the extended memory will not be available for use by programs. |

| | Memory |
| | All these "enhanced" memory managers use the computer's extended memory to "simulate" expanded RAM (EMS). | | | Small memory foot print: MOUSE.EXE takes only 1 KB of upper DOS memory (the stub) and 54 KB of extended memory (the driver) when loading Helix Cloaking technology (CLOAKING.EXE) with LOADHIGH in Autoexec.bat, if an upper memory manager is loaded from Config.sys. | | | Contrary to what you may have read/heard, expanded memory is STILL needed by certain (older) DOS applications and games that canNOT be executed from a DOS box/session/window INSIDE the Windows GUI, and DOES NOT slow down your computer's performance. |
