To be used efficiently, all computer software needs certain hardware components or other software resources to be present on a computer. [1] These prerequisites are known as (computer) system requirements and are often used as a guideline as opposed to an absolute rule. Most software defines two sets of system requirements: minimum and recommended.
Tiny Core Linux is an example of Linux distribution that run from RAM. This is a list of Linux distributions that can be run entirely from a computer's RAM, meaning that once the OS has been loaded to the RAM, the media it was loaded from can be completely removed, and the distribution will run the PC through the RAM only.
Data lines and control connected in parallel to a 16-bit data bus, and only chip selects connected independently per channel. To two halves of a 32-bit wide data bus, and the control lines in parallel, including chip select. To two independent 16-bit wide data buses; Each die provides 4, 6, 8, 12, or 16 gigabits of memory, half to each channel ...
As an example, a 512 MB SDRAM DIMM (which contains 512 MB), might be made of eight or nine SDRAM chips, each containing 512 Mbit of storage, and each one contributing 8 bits to the DIMM's 64- or 72-bit width. A typical 512 Mbit SDRAM chip internally contains four independent 16 MB memory banks. Each bank is an array of 8,192 rows of 16,384 bits ...
The barrier was only overcome with the arrival of DOS extenders, which allowed DOS applications to run in 16-bit or 32-bit protected mode, but these were not very widely used outside of computer gaming. With a 32-bit DOS extender, a game could benefit from a 32-bit flat address space and the full 32-bit instruction set without the 66h/67h ...
EMS supported 16 MB of space. Using a quirk in the 286 CPU architecture, the high memory area (HMA) was accessible, as the first 64 KB above the 1 MB limit of 20-bit addressing in the x86 architecture. Using the 24-bit memory addressing capabilities of the 286 CPU architecture, a total address space of 16 MB was accessible.
A 32-bit register can store 2 32 different values. The range of integer values that can be stored in 32 bits depends on the integer representation used. With the two most common representations, the range is 0 through 4,294,967,295 (2 32 − 1) for representation as an binary number, and −2,147,483,648 (−2 31) through 2,147,483,647 (2 31 − 1) for representation as two's complement.
A module composed of Micron Technology MT47H128M16 chips with the organization 128 Mib × 16, meaning 128 Mi memory depth and 16-bit-wide data bus per chip; if the module has 8 of these chips on each side of the board, there would be a total of 16 chips × 16-bit-wide data = 256 total bits width of data. For a 64-bit-wide memory data interface ...
