People might take this one for granted but this feature of our computer is important specially if we are installing drivers and softwares on our computer. Basically, 64bit is more efficient compared to 32bit. 32bit cannot handle more information than that of the 64bit. 32bit can only handle up to 3GB of Random Access Memory (RAM) compared to 64bit than can handle higher RAM. When you're running lots of application at the same time and you transfer window to Window, you will notice that transferring is slow if you're running a 32bit Operating System (OS). Sometimes, computers don't load that fast in 32bit compared to 64bit. As what have been mentioned awhile ago, 32bit cannot handle loads of information compared to 64bit. And FYI, only 64bit capable processor can run a 64bit version of Windows.
It is important for us to know if we are running a 32bit or 64bit Operating System when we are installing a software/driver to our computer because software or driver that are written for 64bit only won't work in 32bit Operating System and vice versa.
For you to know if you are running a 32bit or 64bit in Windows 7 and Windows Vista, just click the Start button or others call it Pearl then right click Computer and then click Properties. Under System, there you can view the system type. For Windows XP users, just right click My Computer in Start or on your Desktop and then click Properties. Check if "x64 Edition" is listed. If its not listed, then you are using 32bit and if it is listed, I think you know the answer.
