hello guys,
well i dont get it.
what does it mean to say we have a 32-bit processor ?!!
and why saying 32-bit processor implies that the virtual memory of the process is 2^32?
please help

This really has nothing to do with Java and a quick search would have yielded an answer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/32-bit_processor

Then read this one as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_address
Without understanding what is unclear to you, people are going to have a hard time addressing the question.

In very dummy terms it means the processor would process 32-bits in one machine cycle. Say if it's 2GHz processor, it'll process 32-bits 2 giga-times a second.
A 32 bit processor can address upto 32 bit long memory addresses. This directly translates to virtual memory space of 2^32.

Are you Agile.. ?
