I am studying on my own how the PC works and I can't understand one thing. A 32 or 64 bit processor differs for its ability to allocate 2 ^ 32 or 2 ^ 64 addresses for the cells of the RAM. What I do not understand is how big a single cell is. Does a single cell contain only a 0 or 1 or it is bigger (like 1 byte). And also, is the "dimension" of the word related with the CPU architecture?
