Different microcomputers have different capacities in terms of processing speed and storage. For instance, the main memory of a tablet computer averages 128 MB to 1 GB while that of a desktop computer averages 1 GB to 8 GB.

∙ 11y ago- The storage capacity of a computeris measured in? Usually in GB and they range from 76 to 900 so if you want a really good computer I would shot. What is the ...

∙ 12y agoThere is no way anyone can answer this question because we can't see your computer. There are so many variations, it is pretty much impossible to even guess. If this is a pc, then double click on Computer (or my computer depending on which operating system) and right click on your C: You will see how much harddrive space you have and how much is empty.

∙ 11y agoA computer or computer system will probably have several LAYERS OR LEVELS of storage.
The storage levels are usually described by the SIZE and/or SPEED of the storage medium.
Registers are very intimate storage places closely associated with the Central Processing Unit [CPU]. They interact directly with the addition, multliplication, addressing and comparison functions of a general purpose digital computer.
Next comes memory. In the old days this was called "core" memory since they actually used magnetic core rings. Modern computers use semiconductors as electronic quick-access.
As we go down the line the slower the medium the slower and cheaper the storage is.
When I was a lad punched cards gave way to paper tape. Magnetic tape gave way to spinning magnetic discs.
So it goes...

∙ 6y ago"Capacity" can mean many different things. The capacity of a computer can be expressed by:* How much information can be stored on its hard drive
* How much RAM memory it has
* The clock speed, combined with the number of processors, give you an idea of how fast it can process things
* The flops is a more accurate measure of how fast it can process things

What is capacity and capability of mini computer?
Just like a desktop (or microcomputer), a minicomputer can have different capacities and hardware. However, minicomputers are almost always multi-user; their operating systems are designed to server multiple people at the same time. A minicomputer is usually physically larger than a microcomputer as well.
When was Microcomputer Applications Associates created?
Microcomputer Applications Associates was created in 1972.
What is the difference between a multichip microcomputer and single chip microcomputer?
the IC that is organized as a single-chip microprocessor contains only CPU without the other peripherals like ROM, RAM, and I/O ports that comprise a microcomputer, while the single-chip microcomputer is the chip that contains all the components that give the capabilities of the microcomputer.
What does a MicroComputer Specialist do?
Microcomputer specialist is responsible for identifying problem in microcomputer software and hardware. Microcomputer specialist determines which software is necessary for the device based on user needs and then installs that software.
What is the definition of a microcomputer?
The definition of a microcomputer is a computer that works in scale that is lesser than the traditional desktop machine. A microcomputer will contain all of the integral working parts of a normal computer but without the same physical framework. An example of a microcomputer is the Commodore 64.
