I think this belongs in the CPU/mobo forum, because I have a feeling that some piece of legacy hardware has to do with this.<br><br>What is the purpose of having bytes and bits? Wouldn't it be simpler ...

Every AVR microcontroller, from the ATtiny in your thermostat to the ATMega in your Arduino, stores its configuration in a series of fuse bits. These fuse bits control settings such as the multiplier ...

An error detection technique that tests the integrity of digital data in the computer. Parity checking adds an extra parity cell to each 8-bit byte of memory, thus ...

Just like we measure day-to-day things like time in seconds, mass in kilograms, and height in meters; computer memory and disc space are measured based on bytes. You would have probably come across ...

Ever sign up for internet that claimed 20 Mb per second, only to find that your files download at 2.5 MB per second? They aren't lying to you. Look closely and you'll see that those two figures use ...
