H[SDQGHG±PHPRU\
A technique for accessing RAM above
1 MB. To enable expanded memory on
your computer, you must use an EMM.
You should configure your system to sup-
port expanded memory only if you run
application programs that can use (or
require) expanded memory. See also

H[SDQVLRQ±EXV
Your computer contains an expansion bus
that allows the microprocessor to com-

A connector on the computer±s system
board for plugging in an expansion card.
H[WHQGHG±PHPRU\

use it, such as Windows, requires that ex-
tended memory be under the control of
an XMM. See also

H[WHUQDO±FDFKH±PHPRU\
A RAM cache using SRAM chips. Be-
cause SRAM chips operate at several
times the speed of DRAM chips, the
microprocessor can retrieve data and in-
structions faster from external cache
memory than from RAM.
