title: How to determine the maximum number of memory cells a computer can have
body: <p>If a computer memory has addresses that are <strong>n bits</strong> long, what is the maximum number of memory cells that computer can have?</p>
  
  <p>Can you even determine this based solely on the number of bits in the addresses?</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for what a formula would be to calculate the maximum number of memory cells based on the bit size of the memory cells.</p>
