EISA Memory BIOS Interface is present
Address Map BIOS Interface is present
Lower memory: 640K, Upper memory (to first chipset hole): 3072K
[Address Range Descriptor entries immediately follow (values are 64-bit)]
Usable RAM: Base Address: 0x0 X 4GB + 0x0,
Length: 0 X 4GB + 655360 bytes
Reserved: Base Address: 0x0 X 4GB + 0xa0000,
Length: 0 X 4GB + 393216 bytes
Usable RAM: Base Address: 0x0 X 4GB + 0x100000,
