Extension You Can Eliminate

Extension You Can Eliminate

•  32-bit processor but if you're 32-bit processor has something called a physical address extension you can eliminate that 3.25 gigabyte ram cap so you'll still only have 32 bit speed but you can actually have more than three 
• 
  
• point to five gigabytes of ram with a PAE now types of processors there are here are the basic ones here if you see something that says x86 that refers to 32-bit instructions if you see it say x86 - 64 that typically refers to 64-bit instructions and if you see AMD 64 or Intel 64 that refers to 64-bit specifically with those 
• 
  
• CPUs so if you're wondering if you have a 64-bit processor just look up your processor type and it'll either tell you directly that it's 32-bit or 64-bit or it will say something like this for example if it says AMD 64 you're good to go you have a 64-bit processor so if you got an older computer and you're not too sure just keep an eye out for words like these and then you'll know what it is another exam

• ple if you're a Mac user it's a little bit easier to tell if you have a 64-bit computer because I believe most machine after 2006 for 64-bit but you can still check the processor and see so any Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo
• 
  
•  or higher is 64-bit an example would be like the Mac Pro with the Intel Xeon or an iMac with a core i7 or Core i5 those are all 64-bit processors in addition if you actually have one of the higher end Macs from the older days in the PowerPC era a PowerPC g5 processor is 64-bit as well but those aren't really used anymore it's all Intel okay so for the o

• perating system if you're on a Mac if you have OS 10 point 5 or higher that has 64-bit app support on Windows you just need to make sure you have any 64-bit version of Windows installed some older programs do have a problem running on 64-bit but that's usually for older software newer 
• 
  
• programs usually don't have that problem you can run 64-bit and 32-bit without conflicts thanks to modern technology so just to sum up the advantages of 64-bit the two big things are virtually unlimited RAM support so you get to shove a bunch of RAM in your system but remember not all systems can support that much ram obviously some can't even support a mere 16 it depends on your motherboard as well because some older

•  computers that are 64-bit may only support four gigs of RAM some like my computer may only support 16 and 16 is a lot don't get me wrong but make sure your motherboard can actually hold that much RAM so there's a couple more factors to consider so that's one pro and the other big Pro here is faster computation so overall it just makes things faster by allowing 
• 
  
• more RAM and faster computation so next time you're wondering what's the difference between these two you now know those pretty basic differences and you know the advantages about 64-bit and how it is better than 32-bit when it comes to speed I hope you enjoyed this I hope you learn something if you have any questions just let me know below and I'll see if I can help you out so thank you for tuning in to this and I'll see you later you
