    Basic Hardware Question

    This seems so simple, but I cannot find an exact answer anywhere.

    What is the address for the first accessible data in main storage? How many bits does it represent?

    Thanks!

    The address for the first accessible data depends completely on your system. The number of bits it represents depends completely on how your system implements memory management (ie is it paged or not?).
