Now I've always wondered how the base of a pc works and what RAM and GHz and all that stuff mean. The only thing I really know is hard drive space. So I decided to make a program that simulates a PC the way I think it works.

While programming my game I have come into a problem that I hope will be solved by the collective programming knowledge of 64digits. Or in other words I need help.
