What were XMS, EMS and Conventional memory and why did the PC have them?

What was all that talk of memory managers and AUTOEXEC.BAT boot menus about? How would an 8MB 486 fail to run a game which worked fine on a 1MB 286? Why was EMM386.EXE definitely not on Ultima 7's Christmas card list? And why does your friend have digitised sound on that game when you do not, even though you both have the same soundcard?

Bonus fact: that 286 shown inexplicably on the floor of a very, very messy room was also later a 486/100, then eventually a K6/200 until lack of availability of AT motherboards supporting modern sockets forced me to finally buy a new case. I also did, eventually, tidy my room. #doscember #⁠doscember2023
