What else can I help you with?
The memory address from 0 to 640kb are known as?
Conventional Memory
What is conventional memory in PC?
Conventional memory refers to the memory reserved to run DOS programs in a computer system. DOS only uses the first 640 kb of memory in a PC.
Why is it desirable to load device drivers into upper memory rather tnan conventional memory?
Most DOS applications utilize conventional memory. Many DOS applications can not utilize extended or expanded memory without special software. When you load device drivers into upper memory, you leave more conventional memory free for other applications to use.
What memory type has logical memory allocation of 0 to 640 KB?
Conventional
BIOS on the motherboard is assigned the top part of conventional memory?
False
What is meant by the term extended memory?
Extended memory refers to memory on an x86 platform PC above 1 Megabyte of memory. In the Intel personal computer world, the original CPU was only able to directly address up to 640K of memory. This was called conventional memory. Above that, up to 1 megabytes, was called expanded memory. Accessing the expanded memory required additional instruction to allow for bank switching. You used special hardware to "rename" sections (banks) of the expanded memory to something in the conventional range so that it could be accessed as if it were conventional memory. Extended memory is memory greater than 1 megabyte for later intel compatible x86 processors that could support it. Extended memory was accessed using standardized API functions that allow moving data to and from the memory area and management it.
In DOS what is the first 64kb of extended memory called?
In DOS, the first 64KB of extended memory is referred to as the "Upper Memory Area" (UMA). This region is located above the conventional memory limit of 640KB and can be utilized by DOS applications and device drivers for various purposes. Specifically, it is often used to load drivers and TSRs (Terminate and Stay Resident programs) to free up conventional memory for other applications. Extended memory itself is managed by the Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) or the Extended Memory Specification (XMS) protocols.
The first thing you can do to increase the available conventional memory is?
I think its Add DOS=HIGH to your CONFIG.SYS
What is the purpose of command device himem.sys in the config.sys file?
To activate himem.sys which frees up more conventional memory and allows for DOS to be loaded into the HMA (high memory area) It manages memory as a device
Does microprocessor has a memory?
Some microprocessors have cache memory; this is high speed memory and, if you're lucky and a program is small, it may entirely run in cache memory. All microprocessors have memory as registers - these aren't memory in the conventional sense, but are temporary locations to store values being worked on, addresses in memory and so on.
How big is the memory for the dsi?
256mb
How big are iPod Touch apps?
By memory, not very big at all.
