well, for one, the range of 64 bits is oxffffffff or 4,294,967,295 decimal
and 32 bits is 0xffff or 65,535 decimal
this means that addresses up to that value can put on the address buss most likely with 1 computer cycle
That of course can vary with the hardware, but you can see the potential difference.
since you are dealing an base 2, every bit added doubles the maximum direct address by 2.
