If a new memory module is developed that can handle 8GB total capacity with 32 bits per location, how would the organization of this module affect the size of the address bus?
💡 Hint: Use the total size and divide it by the size of information stored to find memory locations.
Given a scenario where the address bus size is increased to 64 bits, estimate how many memory locations this can address. Discuss the implications for modern computing.
💡 Hint: Think about the exponential capability of larger addressing schemes.
