Thanks Bob and others my query re memory within the "innerds' of the machine has been most informative and I shall do some more research into the "bits" (no pun) as I mentioned before I am not terribly savvy when it comes to such workings.
Now ufie89 mentions that some machines cannot handle the 64bit function too well - my laptop machine a Toshiba Sat L550 i5 4G R 500G HDD I found by chance when doing a factory default can run either 32bit or 64bit so I changed to 64, and the change in speed and graphics etc outclassed the 32bit that it was originally set up to operate.
Plus as Bob and others have said that a lot of apps programs call them what you will are all heading North to Faster&Easiertouseland, and in any case 32bit stuff can still be operated on 64bit systems. So staying 32bit to even a "clueless" individual like me is a no brainer.
So leads me to think that some machines are either too old or not up to scratch spec / qualitywise. But I stand to be corrected being "Oh clueless one"! lol!!
