Problem

Solutions: Expanded Memory: With microcomputers operating under DOS, the amount of memory that can be utilized for working programs and data, without the use of extended or expanded memory, is 640 kilobytes. This 640K of random access memory (RAM) is referred to as conventional memory.

Expanded memory refers to memory outside the system's address space. It requires a special device driver and conforms to a standard developed by the Lotus, Intel, and Microsoft Corporations. The standard is called the LIM Spec or EMS.

Expanded memory works with a bank-switched memory board, an expanded memory manager, and an application program that knows how to use it.
