What is a commadore 64?

The Commodore 64 is the best-selling single personal computer model of all time. Released in August 1982 by Commodore Business Machines, the Commodore 64 is commonly referred to as the C64 and occasionally known as CBM 64 (its model designation) or C-64. Introduced by Commodore Business Machines in August 1982 at a price of US$595 (then later reduced to US$200 in late 1983), it offered 64 kilobytes of RAM with sound and graphics performance that were superior to IBM-compatible computers of that time. During the Commodore 64's lifetime (between 1982 and 1994), sales totaled around 17 million units.


How much memory in a commodore 64?

The Commodore 64 was equipped with 64 kilobytes (KB) or 65536 bytes of memory (64*1024). It was possible to expand this memory with a memory expansion plugged in the back although the 6510 CPU could only address 64 kb so these had methods for copying data up and down from the memory expansion to the system memory.

What is the size of the accumulator register of 64 bit processor?

64 bit. the size of accumulator will always equal to the size of processor. e.g 32 bit processor has 32 bit accumulator.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Actually on some computers the accumulator(s) are larger than the processor word size. Some examples are:IBM 704, IBM 709, IBM 7090, IBM 7094 - these are 36 bit processors with a 38 bit accumulatorIBM 7030 - this is a 64 bit processor with a 128 bit accumulatorSome computers do not have accumulator(s), these fall into three main groups:Variable word length machines that store all data in main memoryGeneral purpose register machinesStack machines that either have a fixed sized internal stack or a variable sized stack stored in main memory
