32Bit or 64Bit?

Which one should I choose? 32Bit or 64Bit operating system. What is the different?

32Bit or normally it'll say x86 and 64Bit is the architechture of the system. The history of 32Bit goes back to the medieval time of 8086 family processors.  So no wonder it is known as x86. Due to the web technology, enhance with the power of the server, 32Bit system ain't that strong. So they create the 64bit system. This surpass such problems relate to the x86 that run on high end servers.

Why is this so? Well 32Bit architechture means you are limited for 32bit processing. In other words 4,294,967,295 of calculation only. How I got this figure is by changing the bits to decimal. Let us see the 64bit archi, more than 4,294,967,29. You can see if you are using a 32bit os your calculator only limit upto 32 digits only (mine's so, presume it is like that).  So if you are limited to the usage of 4,294,967,29 data, this mean that your memory are only sufficient to such figure, which is around 4GBytes only. No wonder those days when I posses a computer using single core AMD Athlon, the maximum memory capacity I can insert is upto 4GB only.

Now comes the dual core processor!!Should I use 32Bit archi os?

You can still use 32Bit system but you won't get the utmost of it. You are still limited to 4GB or memory. So if you want the best use a 64bit system os. The problem here is that most softwares are not compatible for such processing. If you are into serious gaming or high end technology. The out come is marvellous.

So the choice of selection on either 32Bit or 64Bit depend on such circumstances, which are "Processor" and what you are using it for. But then eventually, the 32Bit system will eventually fade away due to the advance technology of the Cores.

If you are using linux here is a command on to see your current os bit size.

uname -m

The possible outcomes and their meanings are:

* i686 : 32-bit version.
* x86_64 : 64-bit version.
