Snowboardalliance Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Dude, I dont even know what the difference is between a 32 and a 64 bit program. Neither do I lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerLoss Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Could someone explain for SBA and I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Stolen from a PC World: The amount of data a chip can process at once is a fundamental difference between today's 32-bit desktop processors--like Intel's Pentium 4, AMD's Athlon XP, and Apple's Motorola-made G4--and future 64-bit desktop CPUs, says Kevin Krewell, senior editor at Microprocessor Report. In the 64-bit camp are Apple's pending IBM-made G5 and AMD's upcoming Athlon 64. The 64-bit CPUs can handle more memory and larger files. "The advantage of 64 bits is it gives you a larger address space, which means it lets you address more memory," Krewell says. Today's 32-bit Intel and AMD chips can address up to 4GB of memory (an Apple G4 unit can address 2GB). In Windows-based machines, that 4GB is split between the operating system and the applications. That means the most memory any given application can access is 2GB. "That limit is not a big deal now, but it could be down the road--particularly in video-editing applications and the like," he adds. A 64-bit processor, on the other hand, can address up to 16 exabytes of memory (that's over 16 billion gigabytes). Hey hey hey, I didn't pirate. I just have my connections, and it was completely legal I only pirate stuff I can't get legally Did you throw him an offer he couldn't refuse ?? No, the person just works for Microsoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyougi Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 But like I said, there hasn't been anything made to address that power, and a 32 bit processor works just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
