Yes.


Does Intel and AMD make x86 processors?

Actually, they both make what are known as x86-64 processors, which are processors that can run both 32-bit and 64-bit programs. Check the specifications of the processor for something like "64-bit" or "64-bit Ready" to make sure you can run both x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) programs!

Does MLB 2k9 run on 64 bit processors?

if 2k9 has a 64-bit installer - then it's yes or you might have 64-bit processor, but using a 32-bit OS (e.g xp 32-bit, or vista 32-bit) - then it is still possible.. hth rj

What is the biggest advantages of 64- bit processor over 32- bit processor?

A 32 bit processor has 32 bit wide data bus while a 64 bit has 64 bit wide data bus. Address bus may or may not be 32 bit or 64 bit wide in the respective processors. To fully utilise the 64 bit data bus the programs must be written in such a way that they can use 64 bit wide data bus. A 64 bit processor can also act as 32 bit.

What is the difference between SQL Server 32-bit and SQL Server 64-bit application and how do you know whether a computer is 32-bit 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.
