 16-BIT OPERATING SYSTEMS Definition
We define 16-BIT OPERATING SYSTEMS |
16-BIT OPERATING SYSTEMS - DOS and Windows 3.x are 16-bit operating systems. They are limited in complexity and suffer instability and slow speed (compared to 32-bit OSes) when run on 32-bit processors like the 386DX-compatible chips and above. 16-bit chips were limited to 65,536 (2^16) Kbytes of memory, or 64 MB. This limitation caused momentum for the move to 32-bit chips and operating systems. |
