What is the advantage of having overlapping segments in 8086 memory system?

it reduces internal fragmentation....on 8086 its limited to a max of just 16b per segment of each process....in other words if they weren't overlapping this would be 2^16!
btw I'd like to hear more possible explanations too!

What is segmentation in computer memory?
memory segmentation is the process of dividing the computer memory into different overlapping segments.
Memory is allocated in 4k segments called what?
Memory page.
What is the advantage of having a memory card slot feature?
Memory cards can be used to transfer data instantly from one device to another.
What is the advantage of having a memory card slot feature built into a phone?
well having a memory card built in is ALOT easier! Because you wont have to go all the way out to the store and buy a fifteen dollar memory card.
Memory is allocated in 4K segments also known as?
Pages
What is the size of each memory segment of 8086 is?
The 8086 was only capable of addressing 1Mbyte of memory. It was divided into segments of 65536 bytes (64 KB) each meaning about 16 segments.
Vmm moves 4k segments called what?
Memory manager works with pages and segments;these are different things, don't confuse them.
With segementation programs are divided into independently addressed segments and stored in what memory?
Yes and virtual.
What is the advantage of having more memory for the xbox 360?
The advantages of having more memory is you can download games to the hard drive so in case the disc gets scratched and normally isn't readable will still be readable because it is downloaded to the hard drive. But if you download it to your hard drive you still need that disc you downloaded it to the hard drive with still requires it to be in the console. And the reason why they do that is so people don't buy it and sell it or take it back and get a free game. Another advantage to having more memory is you can save more of your game data and profile data. The last advantage is you can download music, videos, and game demos to it. The only disadvantage is the bigger the memory you want whether its built in the console or your buying the memory separate the bigger the memory the higher the cost of it.
What is the difference between not having a memory card and having a memory card in your phone?
With a memory card you have a larger amount of memory on your phone. However much is on the memory card. So more space to hold pics and etc.
Advantage of using a CPU register over memory locations?
CPU register is faster than memory loacations
Why are segmentation and paging sometimes combined into one scheme?
Segments can be of different lengths, so it is harder to find a place for a segment in memory than a page. With segmented virtual memory, we get the benefits of virtual memory but we still have to do dynamic storage allocation of physical memory. In order to avoid this, it is possible to combine segmentation andpaging into a two-level virtual memory system. Each segment descriptor points to page table for that segment.This give some of the advantages of paging (easy placement) with some of the advantages of segments (logical division of the program). ok hope wil b helfill
