Setting the Amount of Memory

Your computer has two types of memory: base memory and extended

memory. The base (or main) memory in the Equity 386 is set at
640KB, which is the maximum value and is recommended for most
applications. You may, however, need to reduce the main memory
(usually to 512KB) to run certain software applications that require a

smaller main memory size.

The value you set for the extended memory depends on the total

amount of memory available in your computer above the 1MB of

main memory. This amount consists of any additional RAM you
have installed on the main system memory card and on any memory
expansion card you may have installed.
