a) How many RAM chips are necessary? ______
b) How many RAM chips are needed for each memory word? _______
c) How many address bits are needed for each RAM chip? _______
d) How many address bits are needed for all memory? _______
3. A digital computer has a memory unit with 24 bits per word. The instruction set consists of 150 different operations. All instructions have an operation code part (opcode), and an address part (allowing for only one address). Each instruction is stored in one word of memory.
