I have seen this sentence in one book:

“Default implementation of Equals(),
defined by System.Object, which uses a
comparison by .NET identity.”

Does .Net Identity mean the memory address allocated in the memory for both for refernce types and value types?

    From MSDN:

    The default implementation of Equals
    supports reference equality for
    reference types, and bitwise equality
    for value types. Reference equality
    means the object references that are
    compared refer to the same object.
    Bitwise equality means the objects
    that are compared have the same binary
    representation.
