IBM 5150 RAM question

[bettablue]

:computer: So, now I'm the owner of a very nicely kept IBM 5150 computer system with original dual internal full height floppy disk drives, XT model F keyboard and an upgraded video adapter to support a 5153 color monitor, which was also included. Unfortualtely I won't have the computer in my possession until June. It is being stored for me by my brother in lay who lives in Southern California until my wife makes a planned trip with her mother to San Diego.

:yinyang: The question I have is that the attached image shows the computer booted into BASIC. So does this mean that the computer only has a TOTAL 64KB of RAM or is that only what is available on the ROM? I do know the PC has a 64KB ROM. Is that what I'm seeing here?

Basic interpreter only uses 64 kb of ram, you can't know how much ram has the system installed with that image...

Thank you for the respnse. That's what I suspected, still for the price I paid, I made a great deal, no matter what amount of RAM is installed.
