∙ 11y agoA bit is a unit of data. Bit is short for Binary Digit. A bit is either a 1 or a 0. All computers work on binary. Eight bits equal one byte. With one byte, you can store a number which is a code for any character on your keyboard.

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.
What is a bit on computers?
a bit is 1/8th of a byte
What is a bit based on computers?
a bit is 1/8th of a byte
Will all programs work on 64 bit computers?
No, programs written for 32 bit computers and lower may need a virtual machine in order to work.
When will Microsoft 32 bit computers be outdated?
never
Are there personal computers with 128 bit microprocessors?
Not yet.
When should you use Internet Explorer 64 bit?
Internet Explorer 64-bit is only for 64-bit computers.
How did Intel revolutionized computers?
Intel invented the 32 and 64 bit microprocessor which are in all modern computers
How many bits does apple computers have?
All modern computers from Apple has a 64 bit CPU. Mac OS X is also a fully supported 64 bit Operative System.
What is going on in the field of computers in Canada?
Canada doesn't do much with computers, although Intel has some teams there and they do a bit of climate work on high-performance computers.
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.
Can computers pollute the air?
no. but it is electrisity so it does do a little bit of the global warming
