Hi.  I always get confused between expanded and extended memory.
Could anyone post or mail me a good explanation.

1- What is the difference? (Technically & from a user point of view)
2- Why there are two kinds?
3- Which one you should use?
4- Can the computer use expanded and extended memory at the same time?
and other related information that you can think of...

Thanks in advance...
