What is 16 bit or 32 bit?
This refers to how the CPU processors the information, 32 bit is more current than 16 bit and much faster. 16 bit is obsolete because we not gave 64 bit systems.
Are most operating systems today designed for either 16-bit or 32-bit CPUs?
Most operating systems are designed for either 32-bit or 64bit CPU's.
What is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit CPU?
The difference between a 32 bit and 64 bit CPU is the speed in which a computer will read and process the information. A 64 bit CPU will read much quicker and can handle the memory usage better than a 32 bit.
What is a 16-bit operating system?
Basically, the difference lies in the way the program process information : 2 bytes at a time for 16 bits, 4 for 32 bits. Older system usually use a 16 bits processor (often with a 32 bits "virtual" capacity), while newer system all use 32 bits processors that can input 4 bytes of information per clock beat for processing. During a single cycle of the CPU processor, a 16-bit program can send 16 bits of instructions to the CPU. A 32-bit program can send twice as many (32 bits) of instructions during a single cycle. Therefore, 32-bit programs are often able to run faster than 16-bit programs but because the speed of a program is effected by so many other factors, a 32-bit program is unlikely to be twice as fast as a 16-bit program
CPU's operate in 3 modes 16 bit 32 bit and 64 bit Respectively the 3 modes are also called?
real mode, protected mode and long mode real mode, protected mode and long mode Or: 16-bit modes (real, protected or virtual), 32-bit mode (protected), 64-bit modes
What is the difference between 32- bit drivers and 16 -bit drivers?
32 bit drivers are designed for 32 bit computers. 16 bit drivers are designed for 16 bit computers. Most modern computers are either 32 or 64 bit.
Is an eee PC 32 or 64 bit?
Depends on CPU. Atom 230, for example, is 64-bit.
What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit version of windows operating system?
Basically it has to do with the size of the chunks of information handled by the CPU (the computer's processor). The 64-bit chunks are obviously twice the size of 32-bit chunks and a CPU on a 64-bit system can work faster.
What determines whether a microprocessor is considered an 8-bit a 16-bit or a 32-bit device?
The number of bits a CPU uses to represent integer numbers (as opposed to floating point numbers or memory addresses) is often called "register width", "word size", "bit width", "data path width", or "integer precision". This number is often considered one of the most important characteristics of a CPU. Most CPUs are 8 bit CPUs. An 8 bit CPU -- i.e., a CPU where each register holds 8 bits -- typically has a 8 bit data bus and a 16 bit address bus. One of the first 32 bit CPUs -- the MC68008 -- had registers that held 32 bits, a 20 bit address bus, and an 8 bit data bus. Some popular 32 bit CPUs -- i.e., CPUs with registers that hold 32 bits -- had a 32 bit data bus and a 24 bit address bus.
What are preferable to use 32-bit drivers or 16-bit drivers?
Assuming you are running a 32 bit (modern) operating system, 32.
How wide is the data bus for a post Pentium CPU?
its 64 bit
What are the two modes of operation of the CPU?
processor contain three modes. 1.Real mode -When PC in DOS programing. 2.Protected Mode -When PC operating system mode 3.virtual mode real mode - when PC in protected and real mode conmmenly.
