32-BIT AND 64-BIT
- Hello children here from the CeCe here today to tell you about the differences between 32-bit and 64-bit this is my third video on this subject the other two were pretty successful but I
- thought a third revision would be nice to provide some more information and answer some more questions because I have a lot of curious viewers that have asked a lot of
- questions about this topic so I'm going to get into the basics and some more advanced information about 32 and 64-bit we're gonna start with the support for RAM RAM is ran
- dom access memory and you'll find it in any computer it helps your computer keep more applications running at once and it can stor
- e data faster than a hard disk well typically when you have RAM in a computer you have maybe 4 gigabytes minimum now and that's with a 64-bit system but with all their
- computers if you have more RAM than about three point two five gigabytes and you have a 32-bit system that would be a problem 32-bit software has a 3.2 5 gigabyte limit on random access memory so once the gigabytes in the data gets up to that size it will have to start to delete other data from the random access
- memory therefore making certain things run slower and we'll get into why that happens in a bit however with 64-bit software you have pretty much unlimited RAM because the limit is 16 exabytes that is approximately 17 point 1 billion gigabytes of RAM now that's a
- theoretical amount of course I'm not sure if any supercomputer even has this much RAM but the only thing that's really important to know is that the full potential of 64-bit Ram support is 16 exabytes now Ram is important because it can send and receive data faste
- r than a hard disk your Ram doesn't store information but it stores it temporarily every time your computer is turned off it's wiped out it's not a storage device like your hard drive your hard drive holds all the files on your computer and when you open up programs it reads the information off the disk but it stores other information in the RAM because the more RAM that is available the more
- information a program can store and read for quick access because once again can read and write data way faster than a harddrive can so that is why having more RAM is important and it doesn't matter how much RAM you have over four gigabytes if you're on a 32-bit s
- ystem because you'll be restricted to three point to five gigabytes it's important to know that if you want to have over three point to five gigabytes of RAM you should have a 64-bit system which means a 64-bit processor and a 64-bit operating system we'll get more into that in a bit so speed is important with 64-bit
- helping the computer run faster with more RAM is important too but it can also do computation up to two times as fast compared to 32-bit so that's why apps like Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro
- big video editors when they move to 64-bit which they already have it's really nice because you can work with larger projects you can render things a lot faster that is why 64-bit is really nice for bigger applications now with 32-bit there is actually a way you can get more ram registered in the system you can have a
