The address bus is used to specify the physical memory address. This can
include primary memory (eg: RAM and ROM), secondary memory (eg: hard disk) and
other connected devices. The width of the address bus determines the amount of
memory that can be addressed. A 32-bit bus can address 232 bytes of
memory (4294967296). This explains the 4 GB memory restriction on 32-bit
operating system.
