    First 20 bits of virtual address would be for looking up the address in the page table. The last 12 bits offset will be mapped to the actual physical address.

    Together converted together will get you the actual Physical Memory address.

    If you can't find the address in the Page Table, it will throw PageFault

    ← Low Memory Address
