About 32-bit systems and 64-bit systems

Many people now ask about the difference between 32-bit systems and 64-bit systems. In fact, the understanding is very simple, in fact, this is relative to the processor, we know that AMD is the first CPU manufacturer to introduce 64-bit processor, and later Intel also developed its own 64-bit processor. 64-bit systems are systems that run on 64-bit processors.

The 64-bit system is a system running on a 64-bit processor. The 64-bit is the word length that the processor can handle. Now 32-bit processors and 64-bit processors can be said to be half-baked. The server uses more 64-bit processors, because the computing power of 64-bit processors is indeed faster.

Windows
7 has 64-bit system and 32-bit system, XP system also has 64-bit, but few people in China, in addition, we often see X86, X64 words, In fact, X86 is a 32-bit system, and X64 is a 64-bit system. It is worth noting that many people are pursuing a new wave of 64-bit systems.

First of all, 64-bit systems require hardware support. You can install 32-bit systems on 64-bit processors, but you can't install 64-bit systems on 32-bit processors.

The next 64-bit system is currently incompatible with many drivers due to the lack of driver support. The 360 ​​software is also a 64-bit antivirus. In addition, for gamers, the current win7 64-bit system is basically incompatible, so gamers still install 32-bit systems. However, due to the limited memory support of current 32-bit systems, if your memory is much larger than 4G, then it is better to use a 64-bit system. Therefore, the general household machine is recommended to install a 32-bit system. Of course, if you are obsessed with large memory, then it is better to use a 64-bit system.
