Relationship between the size of CPU registers and main memory

I have read this post however I still have a question.


I understand that saying 32 bit processor implies registers of size 32 bit long each of which can hold up to 2^32 data. What does it mean saying 32 bit processor support 4GB addressable memory? What if I have 8GB RAM, does it mean it is more than necessary?
