What is segment memory? Write down the advantages of segment memory.


Segment memory: Segment memory is a system of addressing computer memory, which may be physical or virtual and may be operating in real or protected mode.
The segment memory system was used to expand the 64KB limit on first-generation flat address space. Computers made prior to segmented memory used a flat addressing system based on a four-digit hexadecimal code. With hexadecimal, the highest 4-digit number you can create is FFFF (or 65535), which equals 64KB.
