Difficult question ¿?

[kaio-sama]

Hello,

If the supposed adressable memory(RAM) of a 32-bit processor is 4GB(2^32) why are some (none 64-bit) processors capable of adressing more than 4Gb?

 

[kittle]

The processor is capable of it, but the operating system may or may not be.
Windows XP may. windows xp64 does. Linux probably does too.

What exactly is these non-64 bit processors are you talking about?
