¶ BIOS: Random Access Memory (RAM)
Random Access Memory (RAM) banks are a feature of the BIOS. Memory banks are 8192-character string storage scripts that can perform various string manipulation functions and act as additional memory. Memory banks can be requested by the RAM controller. Several BIOS components use memory banks as temporary storage for filesystem operations and other critical tasks.
