Hi how do i find the highest and lowest memory locations expressed in hexadecimal and the the number of addressable memory locations expressed in K.
A 16 bit address bus can access 64 kb of memory.
The lowest and highest addressable memory locations are simply the lowest and highest 16 bit numbers, i.e. 0x0000 and 0xffff. However, depending on the hardware and operating system the usable RAM may be smaller. The lowest memory areas are typically used by the OS, and the highest may be overlayed with ROM or reserved for hardware interfacing.
