Cores are basically the amount of CPUs packed into one CPU. So say, the dual-core (2 core) CPUs have the power of 2 cpu's packed into one unit. Originally, they just had the single-core CPUs, but recently, they've created the dual-core, tri-core, quad-core, and six-core CPUs. Hope this helps! SeanHolshouser

What is the advantage of 64 bit over 32 bit operating systems?

The main advantage of a 64 bit operating system is that it can make use of all the features and performance of a modern 64 bit microprocessor. If you run a 32 bit operating system on a modern 64 bit microprocessor the operating system will not be able to make use of any 64 bit features of the microprocessor and the performance will not be what the microprocessor is capable of.However a 64 bit operating system WILL NOT run at all on a 32 bit microprocessor (or one with a smaller word size) as the microprocessor does not implement the 64 bit features needed for the operating system to work.Note: in the not too distant future microprocessor manufacturers will release 128 bit microprocessors, which will require 128 bit operating systems to use all the features and performance of these microprocessors.
