if a processor is 32 bit then how much ram will it support?
It will depend on the processor. For example not all address lines might be available from the chip so the physical addressable memory will be less than 4GB. Alternatively the processor may support paged memory and thus theoretically there is no upper limit to the amount of physical ram that could be supported. For example I believe some 32-bit Intel CPUs supported 36-bit physical addressing.
