System.Collections.BitArray Versus System.Boolean()

I recently discovered that the standard System.Boolean value is actually 32 bits - this seems pretty "far out there" since it's only ever going to be 1 or 0 - I found this information in somebody's blog which contained 3rd-party documentation on the System.Collections.BitArray. According to this blog, the individual Boolean is 32 bits while the individual index entry in a BitArray is actually just 1 bit - official documentation here at

MSDN indicates that in reality, the BitArray is just an array of Boolean Values (which would be the same size as any other boolean) that provides methods and functions useful in deconstructing System.Byte values into the BitArray and reconstructing the BitArray back into a System.Byte (same with System.Byte()).

I'd rather not go through a lot of code to restructure Boolean Arrays into BitArrays unless there's going to be some genuine memory-use improvement (which I'd expect to see if I converted large Boolean arrays - at 32 bits per index - into large BitArrays at 1 bit per index). I'm also interested to know if the Boolean is actually a 32 bit monstrosity.
