For regular home use it is generally better to get the 64 bit computer. That is because it will allow for gaming, photo manipulation, and other uses better than the 32.
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.
64 bit computers process data in larger chunks than 32 bit computers. This means a number of things, but the big 2 are: 1) When programs are written to support 64-bit processors, those programs will generally perform faster than on a 32-bit processor of the same speed. This is partially because 32-bit computers must handle 64-bit numbers in two steps, whereas 64-bit computers only need to use one step. 2) 64-bit processors can address more memory than 32-bit processors. This means your server can have more RAM, and therefore can store more data in memory, making memory-intensive programs like databases faster.

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.
soon. Many people have 64 bit processors, but not all. Theres loads of software/hard drivers which is still 32 bit, and some people choose 32 bit even if they have a 64 bit processor because it might be an older PC. When enough people have good computers, 32 bit OS and programs/drivers will outdate and not exist at all.
Intel invented the 32 and 64 bit microprocessor which are in all modern computers
the company Nintendo then it was 64 bits which meant the graphics were twice as better than a 32 bit console and 4 times better than a 16 bit console
Modern Computers have a word size of 16, 32 or 64 bits.
No, programs written for 32 bit computers and lower may need a virtual machine in order to work.
32 bit applications will work on 64-bit but they will not run as efficient as 64-bit application. the reason for this is the 64-bit uses the memory better than a 32-bit. this is why a 32-bit can only use up to 3 gigs of ram and a 64-bit can use 16 gigs +
because it only works on 32 bit computers
A 64-bit operating system can directly address more memory. This makes it "better" if you have more memory than can be addressed in 32 bits ... 4 GB. If you have 4 GB of RAM or less, there's essentially no difference, and the 32 bit system may even be slightly faster.
