The number of address lines needed to access N-KB is given by log2N Then the number of address lines needed to access 256KB of main memory will be log2256000=18 address lines.
The 8086/8088 has 20 address lines. It can access 220, or 1MB, or 1,048,576 bytes of memory.
for 16 MB memory has 24 address lines
A memory address is a specific location in a computer's memory where data is stored. Memory addressability refers to the maximum amount of memory that a computer system can access and use. In other words, memory addressability is the range of memory addresses that a computer can access, while a memory address is a specific location within that range.
You add more memory, or you replace the memory with larger modules.
A pointer is a variable that stores a memory address and that allows indirect access to the object or value stored at that address.
You need 30 address lines to access 1G of memory. 230 = 1,073,741,824. log2 (1,073,741,824) = 30.
The 8086/8088 has 20 address lines. It can access 220, or 1MB, or 1,048,576 bytes of memory.
Memory mapped buses helps in the extension of the address of the physical ram through which the devices can access the address
16384
Max. memory address space= 216 X 2 bytes = 128 Kbytes
In RAM ,the access time is the same for any memory location.Semi-conductor IC chips and magnetic disks are random access memory.In SAM a particular memory word is accessed from the memory by going through all address locations until the desired address is found.Magnetic tapes are sequential access memory.
