Virtual Memory Visualization

How many pages are there in a 32bit machine (assume frame size of 4KB)?

Answer: 2^32 address / 2^12 = 2^20 pages.

Remember that 2^10 is 1024, so 2^20 is a bit more than one million.

For a 64 bit machine, 2^64 / 2^12 = 2^52, which is roughly 10^15 pages.

On a 32 bit machine with 2KB pages and 4 Byte entries, how big would a single layered Page Table have to be to address all of the physical memory? Explain?
