  2. Page (computer memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_(computer_memory)

    A system with a smaller page size uses more pages, requiring a page table that occupies more space. For example, if a 2 32 virtual address space is mapped to 4 KiB (2 12 bytes) pages, the number of virtual pages is 2 20 = (2 32 / 2 12). However, if the page size is increased to 32 KiB (2 15 bytes), only 2 17 pages are required. A multi-level ...

  3. Physical Address Extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension

    The size of the "byte offset" from the address being translated is still 12 bits, so total physical address size increases from 32 bits to 36 bits (i.e. from 20+12 to 24+12). This increased the physical memory that is theoretically addressable by the CPU from 4 GB to 64 GB.

  4. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

    The required disk space may be easily allocated on systems with more recent specifications (i.e. a system with 3 GB of memory having a 6 GB fixed-size page file on a 750 GB disk drive, or a system with 6 GB of memory and a 16 GB fixed-size page file and 2 TB of disk space).

  5. Page Size Extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_Size_Extension

    The entries in the page directory have an additional flag, in bit 7, named PS (for page size). This flag was ignored without PSE, but now, the page-directory entry with PS set to 1 does not point to a page table, but to a single large 4 MiB page. The page-directory entry with PS set to 0 behaves as without PSE.

  6. Commit charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commit_charge

    This is composed of main memory (RAM) and disk (pagefiles). The corresponding performance counter is called "Committed Bytes". Limit is the maximum possible value for Total; it is the sum of the current pagefile size plus the physical memory available for pageable contents (this excludes RAM that is assigned to non-pageable areas). The ...

  7. File Allocation Table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table

    File Allocation Table (FAT) is a file system developed for personal computers and was the default file system for the MS-DOS and Windows 9x operating systems. [citation needed] Originally developed in 1977 for use on floppy disks, it was adapted for use on hard disks and other devices.

    32 GB [4] Same build as miniSD but greater capacity and transfer speed, 4 GB to 32 GB. 8 GB is largest in early-2011 (not compatible with older host devices). microSDHC: 2007 32 GB [4] Same build as microSD but greater capacity and transfer speed, 4 GB to 32 GB. [5] (not compatible with older host devices) SDXC: 2009 1 TB

  9. File size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_size

    File size is a measure of how much data a computer file contains or how much storage space it is allocated. Typically, file size is expressed in units based on byte . A large value is often expressed with a metric prefix (as in megabyte and gigabyte ) or a binary prefix (as in mebibyte and gibibyte ).
