Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A memory module with a capacity of 8GB is organized using 16 bits per address. Calculate the number of memory locations available and the size of the address bus.
💡 Hint: Convert GB to bytes and apply the addressing formula.
Your computer's architecture allows a maximum of 4 Giga locations. If it uses a data bus of 64 bits, how many bytes can be addressed per location?
💡 Hint: Consider how locations and the size of the data bus relate.
