    difference between 32 & 64 bit systems


    What are the difference's between the 32 bit and 64 bit OS? Are the differences significant and would they help or hinder somewhat? At the present time would it benefit switching from 32 to a 64 bit set up?

    There is a LOT of information on this topic at your Google-tips. At this time the differences are not great, simply because there are less 64-but apps in circulation.

    Although there are others, I think that the most important benefit is the ability to use additional memory.

    I completely forgot about the ram increase.

    This was written with Vista, but the articles still apply though. It can help give detailed differences. :)
