Address

[vim]

If there is 20 bits address bus the processor can access 2power 20
addesses.
But that is equal to 1megabits(since each position denotes 1 bit)
But in every book it is given that 1 megabyte How it is?
plz answer

At each address there is an eight-bit byte. The address is the address of a
byte, not a bit.
