[comp.windows.ms] Multitasking Memory Cards

I am looking around for an expanded memory card for an AT clone.  I want
to run Windows 286.  I am trying to find something  cheaper than the AST
products.  I notice  that  Everex has two cards, the RAM 8000 and the RAM
10000.  They  claim that the 8000  supports  multitasking,  but that the
10000 doesn't.  (The 8000 is about twice as much).  What does this mean?
If expanded memory is being  bank-switched,  how does it know whether or
not it is multi-tasking?
