Can you get unlimited blocks of space for the system memory on your DSi and 3DS?

No, you cannot get unlimited space for the system memory for the DSi and 3DS. However, if you manage the space well, you can efficiently use your space to play the games you want. The DSi and 3DS can read SD cards so you can get more space for your console. DSiware games, however, are only playable when stored in the system memory so DSiware games that you are not playing can be moved to the SD for additional space (but will not be playable). 3DS downloadable games and games from the Nintendo eShop (excluding DSiware games) are playable from the SD card and will not affect the system memory space. Additional content (such as Streetpass data, DLC, and add on content) will also be stored on the SD card.

Difference between internal fragmentation and external fragmentation in operating system?
Fragmentation occurs in a dynamic memory allocation system when many of the free blocks are too small to satisfy any request. External Fragmentation: External Fragmentation happens when a dynamic memory allocation algorithm allocates some memory and a small piece is left over that cannot be effectively used. If too much external fragmentation occurs, the amount of usable memory is drastically reduced. Total memory space exists to satisfy a request, but it is not contiguous. Internal Fragmentation: Internal fragmentation is the space wasted inside of allocated memory blocks because of restriction on the allowed sizes of allocated blocks. Allocated memory may be slightly larger than requested memory; this size difference is memory internal to a partition, but not being used
How much space is reserved for virtual memory on different computers?
The space reserved for virtual memory varies on different computers. It depends on the operating system in use and how much system memory is available.
What is the difference between swap and virtual memory?
Swap slices are used as virtual memory storage areas when the system does not have enough physical memory to handle current processes. The virtual memory system maps physical copies of files on disk to virtual addresses in memory. Physical memory pages which contain the data for these mappings can be backed by regular files in the file system, or by swap space. If the memory is backed by swap space it is referred to as anonymous memory because there is no identity assigned to the disk space backing the memory.
What is deffernce between virtual and physical memory?
The difference between virtual and physical memory is that virtual memory refers to memory space while physical memory are chips like RAM. The memory space for virtual memory is made by operating system when there is insufficient physical memory.
What is the extended memory space on a computer?
Memory above 1024K used in a DOS or Windows 9x/Me system.
How much space could you allocate for unlimited RAM?
RAM (Random Access Memory) is a physical chip that is inserted into your motherboard inside your computer. Allocating 'space' on your computer to act as RAM is called 'virtual memory'. Virtual memory can be increased as long as you have room on your hard drive to allocate. Physical memory can be increased by replacing the chips on your motherboard. Quite simply, to allocate an unlimited amount of space for RAM would only depend on how large your hard drive(s) were or how many slots on your motherboard existed.
What is paging?
Paging is a memory management scheme, in which data is fetched from the disk to memory in the form of equal size blocks called pages.paging is a method for allowing the non-contiguous allocation of memory space to processes when nedded.
In paged system Can the logical address space b larger than physical address space?
Yes. This is the fundamental premise of paged or virtual memory - that you can have more logical memory than physical memory.
What is space on computers storage device that simulates additional RAM?
It might be called "reserved virtual memory space" or "virtual memory file", depending on the operating system.
The first 640K of memory addresses?
The first 640K was only an issue with older MS-DOS based systems which limited memory to 1MB. The upper memory was reserved specifically for system use, leaving 640K available to the user (originally the limit was 512K). Extended and enhanced memory drivers allowed additional memory to be used above the 1MB barrier. These barriers no longer exist as memory is allocated virtually on all modern systems. To all intents and purposes, a 32-bit system has a full complement of 4GB of memory available even when it physically has less than 4GB installed. This is achieved by using disk space to swap the contents of memory in and out of RAM as required. A 64-bit system essentially has unlimited memory, only limited by the amount of available disk space. A single 64-bit system can address far more memory than physically exists in the world today.
What is the biggest mb memory card I can get for my Gamecube How many different sizes are there?
The largest first party Nintendo memory card for the Gamecube is the 1019 which contains storage space for 1,019 blocks of game save data. Nintendo also makes a 251 block memory card and a 59 block memory card. An average game save takes between 5 and 15 blocks for reference.
What are the three major activities of an operating system with regard to memory management?
1- keeping track of which parts of memory are currently being used and by whom.2- decide which process is to be loaded in memory when the space is available.3- allocate and deallocate memory space as needed.
