Determining Conventional Memory

I am having a difficult time determining the total conventional memory value
as reported by CHKDSK and MEM.  MEM reports both total conventional memory 
and bytes available to DOS.  I know that the memory available to DOS can be
determined with BIOS interrupt 12h.  But I'm not sure about total conventional
memory.  Is this value calculated, or is there a service available which will
report this value?  Perhaps in the mysterious list of lists?  Can someone 
point me in the right direction?  Thanks for any help.
