Answer 1

How many 64 x 8 RAM chips are needed to provide a memory capacity of 2048 bytes?

Assuming that 64 x 8 RAM chips means 64 x 8 bit RAM chips,

Since 8 bits = 1 byte,

Each RAM chip has 64 x 1 byte = 64 bytes.

Thus the number of chips to address a memory capacity of 2048 bytes will be,

2048/64 = 32 chips.

Answer 2

This is a preety straight forward question where the number of bits at a memory location are same in desired(or target) chip(2048B) and the chip we have (64B)

Answer 3

Total required chips will be 32 and all the chips are aligned horizontally to form DRAM
