This document contains 15 multiple choice questions about computer architecture concepts like physical addresses, segment registers, and memory addressing for an EE 390 class. It asks the student to find specific byte values, addresses, register values, and express addresses based on given segment and offset values. It also asks questions about maximum memory space, valid segment base addresses, and which registers store segment and offset values.
