It depends on a type of microprocessor. The simplest microprocessors had memory word only four bits wide and they could have 15 bites of memory. I suppose that it was enough for some simple calculators.

What is minimum and maximum segment size in 8086?

In 8086 microprocessor the total memory addressing capability is 1 mega bytes. For representing 1 mb there are minimum 4 hex digits are required i.e, 20 bits. but 8086 has fourteen 16-bit registers. That is there are no registers for representing 20 bit address. So,the total memory is divided into 16 logical segments and each segment capacity is 64 kb(kilo bytes). That is 16*64kb=1 mb.So,for representing 64 kb only 16 bit register is sufficient.

What is The unit of a computer that does the actual computing or processing?

The actual computing is done on a Random Access Memory (RAM) chips under the control of a ROM (Read-only memory) chip. Collectively these are described as the Central Processing Unit (CPU)


How program and data memory fetches can be overlapped in a Harvard architecture?

In Harvard architecture, the program memory space is distinct from data memory space. Such architecture requiring two connections. It can perform instruction fetch ( from program memory ) and data memory fetch simultaneously , by adopting a pipelined instruction execution approach, as shown below. A typical instruction execution consists of performing Fetch instruction, Decode instruction, Fetch operands, execution operation , store results. Then, by adopting a pipelined approach, which is possible in Harvard architecture, it is evident that the instruction throughput increases by overlapping. It is simple to imagine that in the above case, if all the above states are executed "one after the other" , the execution time of the instruction will be longer than when it is pipelined.

What is RAM Memory on a computer and what is it used for?

RAM is the Random Access Memory. The most primary role of RAM is to copy the operating system in to itself and then load the Operating System so that you can work. Also when you install any software, it requires some minimum amount of memory, else it will deny to install.For DOS, 16 MB of RAM is sufficientFor Windows 98, Minimum RAM requirement is 32 MBFor Windows XP, Minimum RAM requirement is 64 MBFor Windows Vista, Minimum RAM requirement is 512 MB

How does one troubleshoot a problem with windows virtual memory minimum being too low?

If a person is getting a message that says they are running low on virtual memory from their pc, it usually means that Windows isn't managing the memory correctly. If the virtual memory minimum is too low, then a person can go into the system and edit the amount of virtual memory manually which should fix the problem.

How much storage does a memory card have?

I think I am answering this correctly. Memory is also called RAM or DDRAM, SDRAM etc. 512MB of memory is 512MB of memory. If you check the back of your software cases you will notice that it gives you the system minimum and recommended for memory required. Example windows 7 recommends 1GB of system memory minimum to install and run.
