You're talking about words which mean two bytes (16 bits), right? Common computers nowadays are 32bit-based architecture, or what's the same: 2 words. That means a computer with a 1GHz clock timing will do up to 1 million operations per second.

But newer computers are 64bit-based (I think that's where your question comes from) so at first you think: the double... now what? Well, operations are defined in 32 bits, thus in the same time, your 32bit computer does ONE operation, the other 64bit computer finishes TWO. With the same clock timing (1GHz) your new computer does 2 million operations. Cool, huh?

If you, at the same time, give the computer more RAM memory and newer hard disk, your machine will go amazingly fast!

Hope you understand my reply (sometimes I get a bit technical). Tell me if I can help you somehow.

What does word length of a computer mean?

variable word length computer A computer that does not have a fixed word length but operates on data of different word lengths; this may also apply to instruction sizes. The lengths of data words that can be handled are usually in units of charactersor bytes, so that the computer handles strings of characters or bytes. It is then known as a character machine or byte machine respectively. A variable word length computer is particularly important where data is itself of varying lengths (e.g. strings of characters) as well as cases where natural data lengths do not fit word (hardware-restricted) boundaries.
