When will 32 bit os computers be outdated?

soon. Many people have 64 bit processors, but not all. Theres loads of software/hard drivers which is still 32 bit, and some people choose 32 bit even if they have a 64 bit processor because it might be an older PC. When enough people have good computers, 32 bit OS and programs/drivers will outdate and not exist at all.

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.
