One byte of RAM can hold up to one byte of data. This is equivalent to one 8-bit (ASCII) character, such as a keyboard letter, number, or symbol.

How much is 1TB in MB?

The Terabyte is 1024 gigabyte and the gigabyte is 1024 megabytes, therefore a Terabyte is 1024 squared megabytes, this gives 1048576 megabytes in a single terabyte. This is not to be confused with terabit (1000000megabits)


In memory what is a byte?

A byte is a group of 8 bits of computer data. A bit represents either a 0 or a 1.


Which data type typically requires only one byte of storage?

Boolean data type usually requires only 1 byte, because it represent only 1 of 2 possible values: true or false, which is represented as 1 or 0, so only 1 byte is needed.


A byte can hold one of data?

A byte is a measure of memory in the computer, 8 bits is equal to one byte, a bit is a binary value of 1 or 0, you cannot really measure how much memory it can hold.


Eight bits or one character of data are?

Eight bits are 1 byte. The word 'byte' was coined from the word "by eight" - 1 bit multiplied by 8.


What exactly is a byte?

A byte is the smallest data unit of modern binary computers. It represents either a 1 or a 0. Bits are compiled into a set of eight bits, known as a byte. Bytes represent one piece of data, such as a single letter, etc.


Why is a byte the smallest bit of useful data?

Bit (b) and Byte (B) is entirely different. Bit is the smallest storage unit in computer science. 8 Bit (8b) = 1 Byte (1B) In normal working, when you press any key, it covers atleast 1 Byte of space. Means if you will type ABC, it will cover 3B, so that we consider byte as a smallest unit of useful data.


Does the speed of the ram decrease if the size of the ram is increased?

Actually it is quite the opposite. The more RAM you have the more speed at which data can be transferred to the RAM. An example is if you have 512 Mb of RAM then 512 Mb of data will be transferred to the RAM at a time, but if you upgrade it to 1 GB of RAM then 1 GB of data will be transferred to the RAM at a time verses the 512 Mb. So the speed at which the RAM stores data will increase if the size of the RAM is increased. I hope this answers your question.

Simple table that lists RAM from 1 byte to 1 megabyte?

RAM looks just like a spreadsheet with 8 columns (8 bits) across and millions of rows, depending on how much RAM you have. For instance if you have 1GB, which is 1 billion bits, then it would be 8 columns across and whatever 8X (unknown number) is the number of rows.
