re: How big a RAM can be used for a 32-bit OS

Is there any calculation to determine the size of the RAM that can be used?

Simple calculation on the no. of bits for 1GB is 1024*1024*1024*8?

When a 32-bit environment is taken into a/c it appears that 2^32 is less than 1GB?

Where am I going wrong in this calculation?
