Lesson 2: Memory Mapping
Computer memory has many functions. Some memory is reserved for particular uses by the processor and, if improperly allocated, will cause problems. Understanding how to identify and manage memory is key to optimizing a computer. In this lesson, you learn how memory is allocated. Later, you will learn how to apply this information and optimize computer memory (in Tutorial 15, "Software: MS-DOS and Windows 3.x."
After this lesson, you will be able to:
- Know how to use hexadecimal numbers.
- Define the different types of memory access.
- Optimize memory allocation.
