Assume you have a computer that contains 1 GB of memory. It contains 4 memory slots. Each slot can contain on of the following memory modules: 128 MB, 246 MB, 512 MB, 1GB or 2 GB. Two of the slots are currently used, each contain a 512 MB memory module. Using this scenario, you are to answer the following two questions.
1. What memory modules would you buy to increase the memory on the computer to 4 GB. You are short on funds, so you don’t want to toss out the existing memory. So you will be purchasing 2 more memory modules to fill the open slots. What will the size be of the 2 memory modules you will be purchasing.
2. If you tossed out the existing memory and were to purchase 4 new memory modules, what is the maximum memory possible on this computer?

????-Best guess
1. you have 1GB and want to have 4 GB
... 2 open slots means a 1 GB and a 2GB module
2. 4 slots with 2GB each means max memory of 8GB
To answer the first question, we need to calculate the total memory needed to increase the memory on the computer to 4 GB.
Given that 1 GB is equal to 1024 MB, and the computer already has 2 memory modules of 512 MB each, the total memory in use is 2 x 512 MB = 1024 MB.
To increase the memory to 4 GB, we need to add 4 GB - 1 GB = 3 GB.
Since each memory slot can contain either 128 MB, 246 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB, we need to find the combination of memory modules that will give us a total of 3 GB.
One possible combination is: 1 GB + 2 GB = 3 GB.
Therefore, in this scenario, you would need to purchase two memory modules: one 1 GB module and one 2 GB module.
Now, let's move on to the second question.
If you were to toss out the existing memory and purchase 4 new memory modules, the maximum memory possible on this computer would be determined by the largest memory modules available, which is 2 GB.
Since each memory slot can contain either 128 MB, 246 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB, we could install four 2 GB memory modules, resulting in a total memory of 4 x 2 GB = 8 GB.
Therefore, if you were to replace the existing memory and purchase 4 new memory modules, the maximum memory possible on this computer would be 8 GB.
