- Virtual memory does not exist physically but it is available in the system
- The procedure of fetching the chosen pgm. Segments or data from the secondary storage into the physical memory is called swapping
- So it can address 1GB
Physical address calculation in PVAM
- It uses 16-bit content of a segment register as a selector to address a descriptor stored in physical memory
- The descriptor is a block of contiguous memory locations containing information of a segment
- Privilege levels prevent unauthorized accesses
- Maximum segment size will be of 64kb

Can anyone please justify how a 80286 microprocessor supports virtual memory up to 1 GB?
bvvvvvvvvvv
The virtual memory addressing capability of 80386 is?
NONE! The 80186 was an advanced version of the 8086 but did not include support for virtual memory. It had a 64K physical address space. The 80286 was the first Intel CPU to support virtual memory but it's capabilities were limited.
What has the author C Vieillefond written?
C. Vieillefond has written: 'Programming the 80286' -- subject(s): Intel 80286 (Microprocessor), Programming
What year was the IBM PC AT that used the INTEL 80286 microprocessor introduced?
1899.
What factors determine how much physical memory an 80286 can address?
An 80286 has a 24 bit address bus. As such, it can address 224, or 16,777,216, or 16 MB of memory.
What was Intel's first microprocessor?
The 4004 was Intel's first microprocessor and the world's first single chip microprocessor. For the first PC as we know it (the 1981 IBM PC), it was the 8088, following with 80286, 80386, 80486 and then the Pentium line.
What is the salient features of 80286?
memory management and data protection capability
What is the difference between 8086 and 8088 microprocessor regarding there pin diagram?
The differences are given below: 80286 1. Low data bus width (16 bit) 2. Returning from protected mode to real mode is hard and complicated. 3. Small RAM/Memory 80386 1. High data bus width (32 bit) 2. Easy for 80386 3. Big RAM / Memory (Real memory = 4GB and virtual memory= 64TB)
Difference between 80186 and 80286 and 80386?
5/2/2012 Laith fahim from Iraq,Baghdad 80386 (or 80386DX) is internally and externally a 32-bit microprocessor with a 32-bit address bus. It is capable of handling physical memory of up to 4 GB (232).Virtual memory was increased to 64 terabytes (246) . 80386SX has a 16-external data bus and a 24-bit address bus which gives a 16MB (224) of memory . that is makes more cheaper from the 80386DX _________________________________________ the 8086 IBM PC and compatible computer 4ht edition by Mukammad Ali & Janice Gillispie
What are the advantage of 80486 processor?
The Intel 80286 chip was used in the IBM AT computer, introduced in 1984. They are fine for DOS, although the clocking speeds are slow by modern standards. If you try to run Windows on a 286-based PC, it will run VERY slowly and only in Standard Mode (assuming you have 2 MB of RAM installed). The Virtual Memory capabilities of the 286 are very inefficient. Swapping is performed at segment level (using 64 KB chunks). The method of switching between Real Mode (used to access the first 1 MB of Conventional Memory) and Protected Mode (above 1 MB) is very cumbersome. As well as the slow clocking speed, the other main disadvantage of this chip is that, like the 8086 chip, the data and address lines are multiplexed (i.e. the same lines are used for addressing and data
How many bits in 80286 processor?
8086 is a 16bit processor.
What IC 80386 is?
The 80386 was a third generation version of the 8086/8088 microprocessor. The second generation was the 80286, adding protected mode. The 80386 added 32 bit mode, virtual 8086 mode, and flat 32 bit protected mode.The 80386 fixed the problem of the 80286 where existing object code was not compatible in protected mode because the meaning of the segment registers changed. The 80386 allowed the operating system to run in protected mode while presenting the process with a virtual 8086 environment where the segment registers worked as before. This was a stop-gap measure that worked until the full implementation of a true 32 bit flat memory model operating system and software.
