for this u need to understand about binary numbers.....and differnt ways of representaion.....

it will be a long tutorial.....if i write evry details so in short....

bit stands for “binary digit.”

It is basically how a compu stores and makes ref 2 data, memory, etc. A bit can have a value of 1 or 0, that’s it. So binary code is streams of 1’s and 0’s, such as this random sequence 100100100111. These bits are also how your processor does calculations.


By using 32 bits your processor can represent numbers from 0 to 4,294,967,295 while a 64-bit machine can represent numbers from 0 to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615. Obviously this means your computer can do math with larger numbers, and be more efficient with smaller numbers.

i think u now understand the basic differnce between ....

vista will run with ease on ur system....

well about 32 bit and 64 bit..

well its just that 64 bit can process more and are more gamers friendly..

and are technically not fully supported as of now..
you will face problem in finding softwares for running on that processor..

other wise future is 64 bit for sure , but wait for 2-3 years...

we thinking of buying this for my Indian whistlers' association

part will be paid by the assoc.(which ifounded-for audio editting and karaoke database and general association use) and part by me for my personal and gaming * study use

hows the gaming performance and battery life? and is there much diff between xphome and xp pro?
