Enhanced mode
Updated: 04/26/2017 by Computer Hope
Often, you will see this term used in the phrase 386-enhanced mode, which is used by 386, 486, and Pentium Windows-based computers. This mode takes advantage of virtual memory to allow more than one program to run at a time.
Enhanced mode is the standard mode used by Windows for Workgroups and can be run by Windows 3.1 requiring at least 2 MB of RAM (random-access memory). It also allows DOS applications to be run within a window in Windows.
