Windows 7 64Bit | Frequently Asked Questions !



64Bit: What is it?

  • Simply put, 64Bit is something that allows memory intensive applications to use more and more RAM, precisely more than 3.25GB. That means those software which are native 64-bit in nature can use all the RAM you put in you machine. This in turn means that your applications run much much faster and open large files easily. Although 64Bit has several other advantages like security, crash protection etc but those are too much techie stuff and may frighten a non-techie reader.
Is 64Bit a new technology?
  • Nope ! Actually it's pretty old technology ! We had Windows XP 64-Bit do you remember? In-fact bloggers have already stared discussing about 128 Bit Computing. Now that's something new !
How much RAM does 64Bit allow me to use?
  • To put it simply, much more than you'll ever be able to buy ! Precisely  264 = 18 446 744 073 709 551 616 bits or 2 147 483 648 Gigabytes.  Doesn't that look affordable? While a 32 Bit system could only address 3.25 Gigabytes of RAM. Now being more practical, a system with 4GB RAM is very well suited for 64Bit computing. But as a rule of thumb, the more RAM the better !
What do you mean by native 64Bit Software?
  • This means that a software has been written in such a way that it can take advantage of the extra RAM you put in your machine. This will make the software much more snappier to use.
Does 32Bit software run on 64Bit system?
  • Of course ! It uses the WOW64 architecture to do the same. 
What about drivers?
  • Alas! 32Bit drivers don't work on 64Bit system, but panic not! These days most of the major manufacturers include 64Bit divers with their devices. Believe me, it's really not a problem !
Anything about software compatibility/availability?
  • Well there are lot's of native 64Bit apps out there, check this Link for a very detailed and thorough coverage.
Did I miss any question?
  • Now that's for you to answer. If so just leave me a comment and I will get it answered !
