Suppose you have the new Zarnex VQ-120 computer which has a 64-bit architecture. Further, the boss has told you to ‘‘max out the memory,'' which, on that machine, means you can install all the memory the architecture supports: how many bytes is that?
At contemporary memory pricing of $7 / GB, how much will it cost to fill the machine? Knowing what you know about virtual memory, how much will it cost to provide disk space only for paging - assume you need 2 × real memory size for paging space, as many systems recommend.
Use a price of $35/TB for disk pricing. Remember to include correct units on all your results - the result isn't completely correct without them.
