Windows Vista and beyond are 64-bit, as well as Mac OS X and the majority of Linux distributions.
Most operating systems are designed for either 32-bit or 64bit CPU's.

Over the years I have found that computers with 64bit dual or quad core CPU's and a 64bit operating system is best.
yes but better with 64bit
You can run a 32bit operating system on a 64bit machine.
a server operating system will almost always have extra software incorporated for managing a high-end server and business... also most server operating systems are always 64bit... the difference only matters if you have a server to run it on...
No, not unless all of the following .Confirm that the computer's processor and motherboard are both 64bit. All 64bit Windows Operating systems will only work on computers that have both 64bit processor and 64bit motherboard architectures.Confirm the computer has no less then the other minimum hardware requirements (Processor Speed, Ram memory, Hard Drive memory, etc.) for the Windows 7 64bit version you want to install.Windows XP 32bit must be removed/deleted before doing a clean install of Windows 7 64bit on the hard drive.
Virtual operating system
Operating systems (OS) are software that manage computer hardware and software resources while providing common services for computer programs. They act as an intermediary between users and the computer hardware. The main types of operating systems include batch operating systems, time-sharing operating systems, distributed operating systems, real-time operating systems, and network operating systems. Additionally, there are specialized operating systems for mobile devices, such as Android and iOS, as well as embedded systems used in various appliances.
When you network operating systems you will have the benefit of both operating systems. You have to ensure both systems are compatible before networking them.
There is not. And that is because 64bit can run 32bit, but 32bit has problems running 64bit.
You can use either a 32bit or 64bit operating system (OS) for 4GB of RAM. 4GB of memory is the limit a 32bit OS can handle, this includes any memory that your graphics card has, so your computer may recognise only 3.5GB of RAM if you have a 512MB GPU. You will need a 64bit os that will use all of the ram.
