 The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system. For more details, go to A description of the differences between 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista online.
 Yes, Prodprof would have jumped on this one for sure. I just typed into google search this:(64 bit Vs 32 bit windows 7 and which one is the best) and got a lot of information. Maybe try that if you are in a deciding mode of which one you want.  +1 on that one, here is a nice one for @Prodprof Taking the mystery out of 64 bit on windows 7, specialty cooked by MS  I would suggest you have the full facts before you make a post on something you know nothing about...this is how rumors start. +100, Wow that one was catch in the air, good for BlueLady Last edited by Prairi3DoG32795, 10 months ago  im new...but as far as i know...the main difference is that you can have more ram with 64 bit.....the windows OS will only read just over 3 gig ram, even if there are more installed....im sure there are other reasons as well though.... I am using x86 win 7 ultimate, and yeah it uses just 3 gigs RAM and I have 4 gigs installed, is there any way by which it uses every single byte of ram?  im new...but as far as i know...the main difference is that you can have more ram with 64 bit.....the windows OS will only read just over 3 gig ram, even if there are more installed....im sure there are other reasons as well though.... I am using x86 win 7 ultimate, and yeah it uses just 3 gigs RAM and I have 4 gigs installed, is there any way by which it uses every single byte of ram? Not really. There was a patch or tweak that you could do in XP that allowed it to read 4gig of ram, but it wouldn't use the 4gig. It would always top out at 3.5gig. Same with win 7. Just make the jump to 64bit.  it is Samps job to raise old threads, so you beter check yourself before you wreck yourself!!! haha It was raised already 3 mins ago and I wanted to ask this question so why make another thread, did I do something wrong? im new...but as far as i know...the main difference is that you can have more ram with 64 bit.....the windows OS will only read just over 3 gig ram, even if there are more installed....im sure there are other reasons as well though....

Fat16 could only read up to 2GB or 4GB Fat32 could only read up to 2TB NTFS could only read to 16EB Last edited by Pringlescan3576, 10 months ago |
