Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A CPU has a 20-bit address bus. How many memory locations can it access? Now, how would that change if each location holds 4 bytes?

💡 Hint: Calculate both parts separately.

Question 2

If a memory module is designed for 8 GB with a 32-bit address bus and you're using 4 bytes at each location, how many addressable memory locations would there be?

💡 Hint: Focus on the conversion from gigabytes to bytes first.
