32 BIT VERSION/ 64 BIT-VERSION WHAT TO CHOOSE AND WHY?

32 BIT VS 64 BIT WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS

In today's post,We will show the difference and give clear understanding between 32 bit version and 64 bit version.As many users get confuse in taking a right decision to make use of Windows OS according to their requirements which suits best to them.


Basically,at the beginning level many of us just use a normal OS that is 32 bit as we are unaware of which is best suitable to handle your requirements and features that makes our home or workstation easy.In other way,we can say that, it is the tendency of a computer’s processor to deal with information on RAM(random access memory) depends upon 32 bit and 64 bit version of Windows.64 bit version can handle more RAM and apps than 32 bit.32-bit hardware and software are referred as x86 or x86-32 and 64-bit hardware and software is are referred as x64 or x86-64.



Let’s make it clear to understand  in a simple way. 64 bit version can deal with physical memory(RAM) above 4GB and up to 128GB (now it is available) where as 32-bit version can address RAM up to 4GB only. Therefore, if you have a 32 bit version of Windows installed on your computer then installing RAM above 4GB doesn’t make sense at all.It is only the ability to handle  large memory which makes the 64 bit version more efficient while dealing with processes,multitasking gets way better in this.As it helps in increasing the overall performance of your PC. So 64bit is more powerful in a nutshell. Furthermore,We can even get more related information at which  can help us.

"All new processors today are based on the 64-bit architecture and support 64-bit operating systems.These processors are also fully compatible with 32-bit operating systems."


 If we say advantage,then the main advantage of using 64-bit version of Windows is that it offers better memory accessibility and management,if your installing on netbooks or ultrabooks you may get a better Battery life & better Enhanced security features will added up in your working process such as Kernel patches Protection, support for hardware-backed data execution protection,mandatory driver signing, removal of support for 32-bit drivers and removal of the 16-bit subsystem available.Performance of those programs that are specially written for 64 bit operating system is great.As we can say there maybe  a demerit of 64 Bit OS but there is no specific  disadvantage of using this version but some sort things to remember and has to be taken care while running 64 bit OS.Many Softwares  supports 32 bit as well as 64 bit,but if your running 64 bit windows then you can even run softwares that are running on 32 Bit version.So 64 Bit version can run all types of software(some Antivirus requires specific versions),but you can't run 64 bit version sofwares on 32 bit version.
 
 "So choose your type of OS that suits your requirements and makes your work easy.."
