A 64-bit OS (in concert with a 64-bit processor) will be able to run 64-bit applications (applications written to take advantage of 64-bit OS's & CPU's)
The catch is, there arent any 64-bit applications on the market as yet, so you arent likely to see any advantage until such time as one is released.
Having a 64-bit OS would also mean you would be able to fit up to 16GB RAM memory that would be recognized by Windows XP/Vista.
By far the greatest potential advantage of a 64 bit OS is the vastly increased virtual address space. In 32 bit Windows all processes have a private 2GB virtual address space. This is totally independent of RAM size. In 64 bit Windows, when running native 64 bit applications, this address space increases to 8192GB, again totally independent of RAM size. For applications using large databases, video editing, etc., this is a MAJOR advantage, even if you have only 4GB RAM.
Another advantage is the ability access more RAM. In some server editions this may be as high as 2048GB. That is larger than what is currently commercially available.

What is advantage of Siemens apacs dcs versus deltav or honeywell?
none. Siemens's APACS is an obsolete system and over time will be increasing difficult to maintain resulting in a higher total cost of ownership.
Are they any differences between setting up a wireless router on Windows XP versus Windows Vista?
Normally, no. The router setup is usually contained within the device itself, so the operating system should not change anything.
When using large mode to access a hard drive how is the 504 528 MB barrier broken?
LBA (logical block addressing) is a function of the drive electronics but can also be a weakness i the operating system (Win 3.1 versus Windows XP for example.)
What nervous system structure is specific to vertebrates versus invertebrates?
A back-bone
Can you describe the plot of pressure versus flow rate in a fluid system?
The plot of pressure versus flow rate in a fluid system shows how the pressure of the fluid changes as the flow rate of the fluid through the system varies. This relationship is important in understanding how the system operates and how different factors can affect its performance.
What was a key design change for HFC-134A ac system versus CFC-1 AC SYSTEM?
electric compressors
What advantages does cartridge fuse has over rewireable fuse?
Answer 1 - Advantage of Cartridge Fuse versus "Inline" FuseThe only advantage I'm aware of is that it is much easier to remove to examine for condition, and thus easier to change/replace.
What are the differences in electrical power consumption between appliances operating at 120 volts versus 240 volts?
Appliances operating at 240 volts consume less electrical power compared to those operating at 120 volts because higher voltage allows for lower current to achieve the same power output.

What is discussed most when debating Linux versus Windows?
