Checking System Memory; Setting The Video Display Type - Epson EL 486UC User Manual

Checking System Memory

Your computer comes with 4MB of RAM on a SIMM. DOS and
application programs that run under DOS use the first 640KB of
memory. You can use the memory above 1MB as extended
memory.
When you boot your system, the system BIOS detects the type
of RAM and updates the total memory size automatically. You
see the memory configuration displayed in the
Base Memory
and fields on this SETUP screen.
Extended Memory
You may need to change these values if you install optional
memory (for instance, a memory option card) that the BIOS
doesn't automatically recognize when you start your system.
Change the values in these fields to reflect your additional
memory. When you restart your system, all memory, including
the additional memory, will be available.

Setting the Video Display Type
