How much bits does UNIX supports?
Most modern UNIX systems run as a 64-bit Operating System.
Dell power edge 2650 supports 32 or 64 bit operating system?
32 bit only
How many bits is the playstation?
I think 32 bits but it really doesn't matter because I heard the ps3 has a 32 bit operating system and the wii has a 32/64 bit so bits have no meaning anymore
Which edition of Windows XP supports 64 bits applications?
Microsoft Windows XP 64 Bit Edition ?
Does Microsoft database Access 2010 work in XP operating system?
It's compatible with Windows XP SP3 (32 bits) and operating systems of 64 bits like Windows XP Pro x64 or Windows Server 2003/2003 R2 are not supported.
What is the storage capacity of register?
The storage capacity of a register is determined by the architecture. Thus they are 32 bits long on a 32-bit system and 64 bits long on a 64-bit system.
What is the main advantage of selecting a 64bit operating system over a 32bit operating system?
It isn't an issue of advantages, it is an issue of compatibility with your computer. The 64 bit operating system can take full advantage of the capabilities of a 64 bit microprocessor, if your computer has a 64 bit microprocessor. However a 64 bit operating system will not run at all if your computer has an older 32 bit microprocessor; you will have to use a 32 bit operating system on that computer.
What is the difference between a 32 bit operating system and a 64 bit operating system?
a bit is the amount of information in a system having two equiprobable states. There are 8 bits in a byte. So a 64 bit would be a better operating system because bit is a measurement of information. Depending on what you want your operating system to do a 32 bit is an average computer but if you will probably have tons of files and downloads or installations then if you really want to spend more money then go for a 64 bit but a 32 bit is a good computer also.
Is an Intel core i5 2.7 GHz a 32-bit or 64-bit processor?
Well, it supports 64-bit instructions, that means you can use it with 64-bit Operating System and install more then 4 gigabyte memory. Basically with nowadays technologies not many applications support 64 bits, so the only advantage is that the OS can see and use more than 4 gigs of RAM. In contrary if install on 32 bits system 4Gigabytes of RAM, it can use only 4Gig minus 640 Mbytes so it sees arround 3.28 Gigabytes. It used mostly on servers. As a matter of fact all Core(r)Duo(r) CPU support 64 bits.
What is meaning 16 bit machine?
A 16 bit computer is one where the internal registers in the computer's CPU are made from 16 wires in parallel. Computer registers, in the main, started with 8bits, grew to 16 bits, then to 32 bits and now are mainly 64 bits wide. You need an operating system 'made' for each 'bit' size. For instance Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system is currently available in both 32 and 64 bit versions. The more the bits available the larger the value of an integer number that can be processed by the CUP in a single clock cycle.
What does 64 bit processing mean?
32-bit or 64-bit is the number of data bits that a computer can handle in a register, with the data bus, with an instruction manipulation, etc. In a "standard" 8-bit per byte system, 32 bits can hold four bytes, and 64 bits can hold 8 bytes. The designations 32-bit and 64-bit also refer to the operating mode of the processor. The IA-32 architecture, which started with the 80386 microprocessor, could handle 32-bit data and it had a 32-bit address bus. That is a 4GB address space, of which 2GB is used for the program, 1GB is used for shared DLL's, and 1GB is used for the operating system. While a 32-bit address space is quite large, some programs, particularly database programs, need to manuipulate more than 2GB without needing to "think" about address segmentation. The 64-bit architecture solves this by allowing much larger address spaces to be created, up to 8TB, depending on the operating system. The operating system runs in 64-bit mode, and it supports programs written in both 64-bit mode and 32-bit mode.
Which is better 32 or 64 bit operating systems?
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.
