What is the extended memory space on a computer?
Memory above 1024K used in a DOS or Windows 9x/Me system.
What is upper memory?
It is the uppermost region of the PC memory map for ROM, usually from 640K up to 1024K, originally reserved for BIOS, device drivers, and TSRs.
How many Kilobytes to a MG?
1024K are in one Megabyte.
What is himemsys?
Wow, this is an old subject. HIMEM.SYS is an extention to the memory manager in the DOS operating system. HIMEM.SYS gained access to memory above 640K on Intel 80286 and later based IBM PC and Compatible computers. It allowed the operating system to use memory above 1024 kilobytes as extended memory. It needed to be loaded into the config.sys script used in the boot sequence ahead of the second extention to the memory manager named EMM386.SYS. The EMM386.SYS added LIM 3.0 expanded memory, and access to the upper memory block (RAM between 640k and 1024k) on 80386 class and later PC computers equipped with a BIOS that enabled a process called "Shadow RAM". This program was an issue until Windows XP eliminated the need for DOS to be a shell below windows. COnsider your life enriched that you don't have to deal with memory management on computers like we used to back when DOS ruled.
Iconic memory is a type of what memory?
A visual memory trace is called "icon" and such memory (the visual memory) is called "iconic memory".
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.
Is RAM called as program memory?
no , it is called random access memory
What is the conversion of short-term memory to long-term memory called?
The conversion of short term memory to long term memory is called memory consolidation.
