Best Answer

: A Bit is a digit in the binary number system. It can have two values, 0 or 1. In computer RAM and ROM memory, a bit is a small electrical switch which is either on (value 1) or off (value 0).

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.
