Need help on 32-bit/64-bit windows operating system..

Hi All,

I am pretty new to windows administration..
1.) I would need your help in understanding the basic difference 32-bit and 64-bit operating windows system.
2.)Which versions of windows in 32-bit accommodate what maximum capacity of RAM
3.)Which versions of windows in 64-bit accommodate what maximum capacity of RAM.
If possible do let us know the calculation involved in finding the maximum RAM in each case.

can partially answer your question
32 bit support max 3 GB
for more than that you need 64x
