| Windows 7 Ultimate 5 posts Northern Virginia | 64 bit vs 32? Is a 64 bit computer more likely to run faster against a 32 bit computer? What are the differences? Also, I noticed that most computer manufacturers install 32 bit copies of Windows when the computer they have is 64 bit. Why is that? |

| W7 RTM Ultimate x64 2,905 posts South Coast NSW | Hello and welcome to the forum. 1. It depends on how much RAM you have installed. 2. (quoted from Microsoft) "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." And i don't have an answer for your last question, maybe someone can fill in where i missed. Sorry. |
