Previously we built a 1-bit register: /youtube/video/-arYx_oVIj8

Next we extended that to build an 8-bit register: /youtube/video/CiMaWbz_6E8

In this video, we extend that further to describe how a 16-byte static RAM would work. Then we take a look at the 74LS189, which we'll use to build our computer's RAM.
