Abstract
A system and method for managing the reserved memory in a microcomputer copies selected portions of reserved memory to a new reserved memory having a faster access time, and allows any free portions of the new reserved memory to be accessed by a typical software application. After the selected portions of reserved memory are copied, all access to an address within a selected portion are re-directed to the new reserved memory. Any free portions of new reserved memory have additional, accessible memory re-mapped to these free portions.
