Question

if a computer's hard drive contains 128 GigaBytes of capacity, with Segments of 16 KiloBytes each

How many Segments does the hard drive contain?

How many transfers are required for a 2 MegaByte digital photograph

Draw a diagram of the disk

If a computer has 1 GigaByte of memory.

How many of the 32 address bits are used to address memory?

How many RAM segments are contained in your memory?

Draw a diagram of the memory. (1 GB Memory Segmentation)

Explanation / Answer

hard drive contains 128 GigaBytes =128*1024*1024 kilo Bytes

Segments of 16 KiloBytes each

Segments does the hard drive = 128*1024*1024 /16 =8388608

transfers are required for a 2 MegaByte digital photograph = 128*1024/(2)=65536

1 GigaByte of memory

the 32 address bits are used to address memory = (1024*1024*1024*8/ (2^32) ) = 2
