Def: If a computer has 32-bit addressing, it means that each address in memory can have 32 numbers.Since each number could be a 1 or a 0, that means that 2^32 (four billion) addresses are available.The computer could theoretically address up to 4 gigabyte of memory; however, many computer with 32-bit addressing have far less than 4 gigabyte of memory.
