--What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows? The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system. --How can I tell if my computer is running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version of Windows? To find out if your computer is running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, do the following: Open System by clicking the Start button The Start button, right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties. Under System, you can view the system type. --Which version of Windows should I install: the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version? To install a 64-bit version of Windows, you need a CPU that's capable of running a 64-bit version of Windows. The benefits of using a 64-bit operating system are most apparent when you have a large amount of random access memory (RAM) installed on your computer, typically 4 GB of RAM or more. In such cases, because a 64-bit operating system can handle large amounts of memory more efficiently than a 32-bit operating system, a 64-bit system can be more responsive when running several programs at the same time and switching between them frequently. --How do I tell if my computer can run a 64-bit version of Windows? To run a 64-bit version of Windows, your computer must have a 64-bit-capable processor. To find out if your processor is 64-bit-capable, do the following: Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button The Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type Performance Information and Tools, and then, in the list of results, click Performance Information and Tools. Click View and print detailed performance and system information. In the System section, you can see what type of operating system you're currently running under System type, and whether or not you can run a 64-bit version of Windows under 64-bit capable. (If your computer is already running a 64-bit version of Windows, you won't see the 64-bit capable listing.)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Actually its not the same software, 32-bit version are older and well cant find to many App or Programs to fit in the 32-bit computers, i can only cost more the 64-bit cuz it's more in demand yes. But if i where you i would not even bother to continue buying 32-bit Laptops or Desktops, i have a Panasonic cf-54 Toughbook, and it was 32 bit, later found out it had the option of switching to 64 bit, which in turn Ran Slower, but least now can install more Programs or Apps.
