64-bit refers to a processor with registers that store 64-bit numbers. A generalization would be to suggest that 64-bit architecture would double the amount of data a CPU can process per clock cycle. Users would note a performance increase because a 64-bit CPU can handle more memory and larger files. One of the most attractive features of 64-bit processors is the amount of memory the system can support. 64-bit architecture will allow systems to address up to 1 terabyte (1000GB) of memory
What else can I help you with?
What is the main advantage of selecting a 64bit operating system over a 32bit operating system?
It isn't an issue of advantages, it is an issue of compatibility with your computer. The 64 bit operating system can take full advantage of the capabilities of a 64 bit microprocessor, if your computer has a 64 bit microprocessor. However a 64 bit operating system will not run at all if your computer has an older 32 bit microprocessor; you will have to use a 32 bit operating system on that computer.
Is x86 operating system equal to 32 bits?
They are both the same
Which operating system was the first to use the 64-bit technology?
Windows
Can you run a 64-bit operating system on a 32-bit processor?
No.
What is an operating system patch?
An operating system is made up of many pieces of code, sometimes "bugs" or errors are found to exist in bits of this code. Once these have been found, they are then corrected and a replacement for the code is sent out "as a patch" to people who have the operating system installed.
Which operating system supports 64 bits?
Windows 7 (64-bit), Ubuntu, and I Think Macs
How much bits does UNIX supports?
Most modern UNIX systems run as a 64-bit Operating System.
How many bits are in a byte in a 64-bit system?
In a 64-bit system, there are 8 bits in a byte.
How many bits is the playstation?
I think 32 bits but it really doesn't matter because I heard the ps3 has a 32 bit operating system and the wii has a 32/64 bit so bits have no meaning anymore
How many bits are in a 264-bit system?
A 264-bit system has 64 bits.
Does Microsoft database Access 2010 work in XP operating system?
It's compatible with Windows XP SP3 (32 bits) and operating systems of 64 bits like Windows XP Pro x64 or Windows Server 2003/2003 R2 are not supported.
What is the storage capacity of register?
The storage capacity of a register is determined by the architecture. Thus they are 32 bits long on a 32-bit system and 64 bits long on a 64-bit system.

What is meaning 16 bit machine?
A 16 bit computer is one where the internal registers in the computer's CPU are made from 16 wires in parallel. Computer registers, in the main, started with 8bits, grew to 16 bits, then to 32 bits and now are mainly 64 bits wide. You need an operating system 'made' for each 'bit' size. For instance Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system is currently available in both 32 and 64 bit versions. The more the bits available the larger the value of an integer number that can be processed by the CUP in a single clock cycle.
What is the difference between a 32 bit operating system and a 64 bit operating system?
a bit is the amount of information in a system having two equiprobable states. There are 8 bits in a byte. So a 64 bit would be a better operating system because bit is a measurement of information. Depending on what you want your operating system to do a 32 bit is an average computer but if you will probably have tons of files and downloads or installations then if you really want to spend more money then go for a 64 bit but a 32 bit is a good computer also.
Which is better 32 or 64 bit operating systems?
A 64-bit operating system can directly address more memory. This makes it "better" if you have more memory than can be addressed in 32 bits ... 4 GB. If you have 4 GB of RAM or less, there's essentially no difference, and the 32 bit system may even be slightly faster.
What determines whether you can use a 32 bit operating system or a 64 bit operating system?
Your processor.
