What is the maximum number of memory locations an 8-bit address bus can address?
Think about 2 raised to the number of bits.
How many bits are in 1 byte?
Common knowledge in computing.
How many memory locations can an 8-bit address bus address?
Remember the formula 2 raised to the number of bits.
True or False: A 10-bit address bus can address 512 memory locations.
Use the power of 2 to calculate.
If a computer has a 32-bit address bus, how many bytes can it address in a single memory access? Explain your reasoning.
Consider the exponential growth when addressing memory.
Imagine a system where each memory location is configured to hold 4 bytes. If it has a total capacity of 8 GB, what would be the size of the address bus?
Think about how many unique 4-byte addresses fit into the total capacity.
