DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WINDOWS 32-BIT AND 64-BIT

Windows 32-bit and 64-bit Windows has some fundamental difference? This article  Warehouse tips  will help you a statistical difference of 2 points of the platform. How to view your computer is  installed Windows  32-bit or 64-bit, and tips for you before choosing a suitable platform.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN  WINDOWS 32-BIT AND 64-BIT

Windows 32-bit and 64-bit Windows has something different points?

1. The basic difference between Windows 32-bit and 64-bit Windows

32-bit or 64-bit temporarily out of bits of data to be processed in the same time. Thus we can see now, in terms of processing speed. 64-bit operating system will be faster 32-bit operating system.

Besides, thanks to the sophisticated algorithms, a computer installed 32-bit operating system will solve the problem of limited RAM attached to the computer. If your computer has 4GB of RAM or more, you should install the 64-bit version. Because 32-bit version will only recognize and use up to 3,25GB RAM. The remaining amount of RAM will be wasted.

However, not every 64-bit Windows is installed you can attach much RAM as you like. This will depend on your hardware (RAM slots on the mainboard, the maximum amount of RAM - Max memory support of this mainboard) and versions of Windows. For example for 64-bit Windows 7, each version has different limits of RAM. Specific:

• Starter: 8GB
• Home Basic: 8GB
• Home Premium: 16GB
• Professional: 192GB
• Enterprise: 192GB
• Ultimate: 192GB

In addition to install 64-bit Windows, the processor (CPU chip) you must be a 64-bit CPU.How to see your CPU is 32 or 64 you can go directly into all Intel / AMD to see. Or alternatively more simply will be guided in the latter part of the article.

A 64-bit CPU chip, you can  install an operating system  32-bit and 64-bit, 32-bit CPU, but it can only install 32-bit Windows. However, if you buy a computer at the present time. Then almost the entire CPU chips are 64-bit platform. 32-bit CPU's last known Intel Pentium 4 line of code begins with the number 4 or less.

2. So how to view your computer is installed 32-bit operating systems or 32-bit?

+ For Windows XP:

You right-click the icon for  My Computer  and select  Properties . On the General tab you will see the version of Windows:

• Microsoft Windows XP Professional: This is the 32-bit windows xp
• Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition: Đây là windows 64-bit

+ For Windows Vista / 7/8:

You also right click on Computer and select  Properties  in the System type will display which version of Windows you are using. For example, following the illustration below you are using Windows Vista Business 32-bit

3. How to see your CPU is 32-bit or 64-bit:

As noted above, usually to correct information about the CPU you should go directly into the company's owners. For example, with the Core 2 Duo E7200 CPU you can see at the following link:  Click Here .

Or you go to the  Performance Information and Tools  in  Control Panel  and then select View and Print details

4. The advantages and disadvantages of 64-bit operating system

Advantage: 

- Provides scalability better RAM
- Secured more (some security algorithm will work more efficiently)
- Running the software written specifically for 64-bit platforms to achieve performance higher

Disadvantages:

- Sometimes due to some missing hardware drivers support only 32-bit Driver (most notably printers)
- A number of dedicated consoles and software incompatibilities.
- The management has set up software sometimes troubled machines (Because windows itself divided into two folders Program Files (x86) and Program Files)

5. Advice for you:

If you only own from 3GB of RAM or less, and your needs only encapsulated in the basic tasks such as office, listening to music, watching movies ... it's best to use 32-bit operating system.Unless you necessarily need to upgrade the RAM to run some graphics applications, new design ... you need to upgrade to 64-bit platforms.

However with the current situation fairly cheap components, the ability to upgrade to 4GB computer, 6GB, 8GB ... RAM is relatively easy. So if not bound by some software or device "upset" certain. Feel free to upgrade and experience.
