Please excuse the basic question but I'm a little confused:
Today's consumer chips are capable of maybe a ~36-bit address bus bandwidth which means that it is capable of addressing 64GB of memory however, from what I read, 32 bit processors limit the user to 4GB of RAM.
What exactly is 32 bit vs 64 bit architecture?
I realize that it's more bandwidth but from what to what?
I tried searching but the function isn't working for me right now.
