Re: Bits

Hello.
32 bit is limited in the programs it can support while 64 is not. More bits means that data can be processed in larger chunks which also means more accurately. More bits means our system can point to or address a larger number of locations in physical memor 32-bit systems were once desired because they could address (point to) 4 Gigabytes (GB) of memory in one go. Some modern applications require more than 4 GB of memory to complete their tasks so 64-bit systems are now becoming more attractive because they can potentially address up to 4 billion times that many locations.

What's the dif between the two... apart from 32 bits? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
