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.
windows me only accepts 32 bit drivers
Assuming you are running a 32 bit (modern) operating system, 32.
It is a 16-bit processor.
winnt.exe = 16-bit clean install winnt32.exe = 32-bit upgrade
Windows XP

The difference between the 8086 and the 8088 is that the 8086 has a 16 bit data bus and that the 8088 has an 8 bit data bus. Both processors are the same 16 bit processor, and both have a 20 bit address bus. The 8086 is twice as fast as the 8088 in terms of data transfer rate on the bus for the same bus clock speed.
Windows 95 & Windows 98
Comparison between micro processor Intel and Motorola
Windows 3.0 is a 16-bit architecture. Windows 7 is 32-bit architecture.
Winnt.exe is the 16-bit version and Winnt32.exe is the 32-bit version
The most significant difference between the Intel 8085 and 8086 microprocessors is that the 8085 is an 8-bit system and the 8086 is a 16-bit system. This difference allows the 8086 system to have a much larger set of operational instructions and can make calculations to more significant places. Note: the 8085 processor does have two 16-bit registers. The pointer and the program counter.
