[QUOTE="adrian_AGB, post: 899929, member: 61745"] I just understood the relationship in between powers of two, the bus width -8bit, 64bit etc- (which I'm guessing is the number of cables) and the max RAM. For example -from what I understand- a system completely 64 bit (address bus, OS and what more?) would be able to handle up to 2^64 (1.845b). Or a 33b system (as irrational as it would be, since standard word length is 8bit?) would handle double that of a 32b system? Note: I often use expressions like: "(address bus, OS and what more?)" to express that "what more?" is a question. Sorry for my bad english. [/QUOTE]
