- The laptop owned by Siobhan has 8GB of RAM. Her programs utilize an extra 8GB of memory on top of the 2GB her operating system uses. What kind of memory space is being used to do this? Maybe you could explain how this is done.arrow_forwardUnlike Moore's Law, CPU clock rates have not increased since the early 2000s. What does Moore's Law imply here? What stopped Intel from increasing clock speeds? How did they keep making powerful computers?arrow_forwardquestion 8 Enormous State University's Business School is buying computers. The school has two models from which to choose, the Pomegranate and the iZac. Each Pomegranate comes with 400 GB of memory and 80 TB of disk space; each iZac has 300 GB of memory and 100 TB of disk space. For reasons related to its accreditation the school would like to be able to say that it has a total of at least 34,000 GB of memory and at least 9,200 TB of disk space. If the Pomegranate and the iZac cost $2,000 each, how many of each should the school buy to keep the cost as low as possible? HINT [See Example 4.] (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
