What actually you mean by 64-bit when you say 64 bit processor?

64bit processors have most registers specially the integer registers as 64bit. It can handle 64bit wide internal and external data. All internal and external buses may or may not be 64bit wide. - Neeraj Sharma

What are the compatibility issues of the 32bit and 64bit processor?
what are the compitibility issues of 32-bit and 64-bit processor
What is the size of the accumulator of a 64bit processor?
The size of the accumulator is the same,means 64bit.
Can you run 32-bit Windows XP on a 64-bit process?
No, not unless all of the following .Confirm that the computer's processor and motherboard are both 64bit. All 64bit Windows Operating systems will only work on computers that have both 64bit processor and 64bit motherboard architectures.Confirm the computer has no less then the other minimum hardware requirements (Processor Speed, Ram memory, Hard Drive memory, etc.) for the Windows 7 64bit version you want to install.Windows XP 32bit must be removed/deleted before doing a clean install of Windows 7 64bit on the hard drive.
How much memory can a computer use?
It all depends on the architecture that the processor is built on. If it is 32 bit architecture, 2^32 it will be 4gb. If it is a 64bit processor it can access 2^64 memory locations, or 16gb.
What is the minimum CPU speed and memory to run windows 7 64bit?
1GHz or faster 64-bit processor. 2GB RAM Memory. 16GB Space.
The PowerPC 601 processor addresses a maximum of 232 bytes of memory. What is the maximum number of 64-bit words that can be stored in the memory?
29 64bit words.
What is the difference between 2.66 dual core and 64bit dual core?
The difference between 2.66 dual core processor, and 64-bit dual core processor, is really two different processor specifications. 2.66 is actually 2.66Ghz, which is the clock speed of the processor. The clock speed tells you how many times the processor can execute instructions per second. A dual core processor is a processor with two cores on one die. This can be thought of as having two processors in one. The bit specification of a processor tells you how many binary instructions a processor can execute per clock cycle. Most processors today are 32-bit (32 binary instructions per clock cycle) or 64-bit (64 binary instructions per clock cycle). More RAM can be used with a 64-bit processor. A 32-bit processor is limited to addressing 4 Gigabytes of RAM, while a 64-bit process can address (theoretically) 16 Exabytes of RAM.
Difference between 32 bit and 64bit?
This applies to Windows XP and all 32bit or 64bit Windows Operating systems: 32bit Windows Operating systems are made to be used with 32bit motherboard/processors. All 64bit Windows Operating systems can only be used on a 64bit motherboard/processor and will not work with 32bit motherboard/processor architecture. 64bit Windows Operating Systems is also the only one made to utilize all of the processors on multi core processor (dual core, quad core, etc) systems. All Windows Operating systems are designed to function with a specific hardware architecture design. *some 64bit processor/motherboard combinations have a backward compatibility that allow you to use a 32bit operating system on a 64bit system by disabling 32bit. When you operate a 64bit processor in 32 bit mode it turns off some of the processors. This means a dual core will work as a single core, a quad core will work as a dual core (you can never get more the 2 processors to function in 32bit mode, even if there are more then 4 processors on the same processor die.)
Is the Intel Core 2 Duo a 64-bit processor?
All Intel Core 2 processors are capable of running in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode.
What is 32bit processor and what is 64bit processor?
First off, I'm assuming you know what a microprocessor is. If not, please go look up that question (or, a related topic, the CPU (Central Processing Unit). 32 and 64 bits processors refer to the size of the native (default) word size in a processor. In a 32 bit processor, all basic operations happen on chunks of information 32-bits in size - information requiring more storage requires multiples of the 32-bit word. Likewise, 64-bit processors operate with a native size of 64-bit words. See the related question below for a more thorough explanation of the impact of 32 vs 64 bit native word size in a processor.
What does it mean when you say Pentium is a 32 bit processor?
It means the processor is able to handle a 32bit wide data at a time.
My processor is able to run 64bit I am currently running 32 bit is there anyway that I can we change it to 64 bit Also is there anything else that needs to be compatible with 64 bit Windows 7?
Go to the control panel and proceed to "personalize." The "display settings" window will show. It has a dropdown menu with a list of the highest and lowest bits
