Quick Question About 32-bit and 64-bit Of Windows 7

[Mario Eats BK]

I'm really curious to know whats the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit version of windows. I know the 64-bit will work faster but how? How does it work to work faster. Also which one is more likely to cause trouble and problems. And do both do about the same updates, what I mean by that is that lets say 64-bit will look for a better update and faster. Thanks

Sorry but that information is not correct. Both versions are exactly the same. The difference is that 64 Bit can go past 4GB of RAM without having to resort to tricks. 64 Bit isnt any faster if your running with the same amount of RAM that 32 Bit can use. The main difference is that 64 Bit can accommodate more "paths" to allow for more information to be processed at once. That doesnt necessarily make it faster, just more efficient.

Neither are likely to cause trouble or problems. Both get the updates at the same time cause Microsoft only puts out updates on the 2nd Tuesday of the month for Windows and their products. So neither of them are any faster at getting updates cause they are all updated at the same exact time from the company who makes the product.

I suggest you read a bit more to understand the differences. Its not like 64 Bit is going to be twice as fast as 32 Bit cause it is twice as much.
