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 size of far pointer?
In real mode far pointers are 32 bit long (segment + offset) In protected mode 48 bit (16 bit segment + 32 bit offset) (In 64-bit mode 80 bit (16 nit segment + 64 bit offset) but it's not so useful)

How large is the windows application programing area?
2G or 3G for 32-bit mode and currently 8G for 64-bit mode
Is the Intel Core 2 Duo 32-bit or 64-bit?
The Intel Core 2 Duo is capable of operating in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode.
What is a service pack 1 64 bit mean?
its the first "generation" i guess of updates combines into a "pack", the 64 bit means its meant for the 64 bit version of windows, not the 32 bit version
Would a 64Bit processor work with a 32Bit operating system?
It can do but it is really the other way around. A 32-bit operating system can work with a 64-bit processor. However, if the processor doesn't have a "soft" switching mode, you will have to manually switch the 64-bit processor to 32-bit mode via the CMOS setup. Ideally you should install a 64-bit operating system and leave the processor in 64-bit mode. This will then allow you to run 32-bit programs and 64-bit programs side-by-side.
How do you put virtualbox in 64bit mode?
when you download an iso you download an 64-bit one. also, when you are looking at all your virtualmachines then you right click the one you want to go into 64-bit with and then you select in the display 64-bit.
Why is my 64 bit computer running in 32 bit?
64 bit OSes use special set of instructions as well as 64 bit memory space which is in principle is not supported by 32 bit processors.
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.
Can most Microsoft paches and device drivers can be applied to a 32 bit installation and also a 64 bit installation?
Yes. 64 bit system has a 32bit simulation mode to let users install 32 bit software. Program files x86 is where the 32 bit software being installed on a 64 bit system.
Which addressing mode is the best?
On Intel CPUs which support IA-32 , the best is Protected Mode. But as for Intel CPUs supporting IA-32e ,the best is 64-bit Mode.
