It's the bus that carries the actual data around.
True or False: The width of the address bus determines how many addresses can be accessed.
Think about how many locations can be identified with more bits.
Consider a computer system with a 4-bit address bus. Calculate how many memory locations it can access, and discuss the impact on system performance if the demand for memory exceeds these locations.
Use the formula for calculating combinations.
Analyze a scenario where the speed of the I/O bus significantly differs from the CPU speed. Explain how modern operating systems alleviate this slow process.
