What is meant by the term Maximum addressable memory?

Answer 1

Maximum addressable memory is the most information a computer can store without having to delete something to make room for space. The maximum addressable memory also takes into consideration the files that cannot be erased, like the operating system files.

Answer 2

What is meant by the term maximum addressable memory?

In generaI, it is called CPU maximum addressable memory because it refers to the max number of addresses the CPU can read. Specifically, the max addressable memory is determined by the formula 2^x, with x representing the number of bits of the CPU address bus. Thereotically, if a CPU has a 4 bit address bus then we calculate 4^4 (4 to the fourth power), which would make the max addressable memory 256.

Answer 3

Not possible to answer the question. You need to provide more details.

To be precise, the maximum addressable memory is limited by the memory controller, not the CPU, and can be further limited by the operating system.

Answer 4

It depends on the processor and the operating system.

• In the 8086/8088, with a 20 bit address bus, you can address 1,048,576 bytes of memory.
• In the 8085, with a 16 bit address bus, you can address 65,536 bytes of memory.
• In the IA-32 architecture (80386 and higher in 32 bit mode), you can address 4,294,967,296 bytes of memory (physical) minus about 805,306,368 bytes of memory for overhead (operating system).
• In the IA-64 architecture (80686 running in 64 bit mode on 64 bit Windows) you can address 206,158,430,208 bytes of memory.

Answer 5

That actually depends on your motherboard and your operating system. For instance, Windows XP on a 32 bit system can use a maximum of 4 gigabytes if the motherboard supports it. 64 Bit Windows 7 can operate with a max of 8 gb for Home Basic or up to 192 Gb for Ultimate.

The amount of ram for older systems is far less than the max for XP.

Answer 6

Assuming your memory card slot(s) permit, 2 to the power of 32 = 4294967296

which is apprx 4 GB

Answer 7

2 ki power 64 memory addressing capacity hogi

Answer 8

for a 32-bit processor with 8-bit opcode:

2^(32-8) bits == 2^24 bits = about 16.8 MB
