Hi,
Here are some advantages of 64 bit version OS:
*www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/facts/top10.mspx
*technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457053.aspx#EFAA
And, I don't think there should be any disadvantages. Earlier, when it was released there were issues with incompatible drivers.But now, I think, those issues are almost resolved....

Is There 32 Bit And 64 Bit Softwares Different ?

So In X64 Bit We Can Run 32 Bit Softwares Also ?

certainly... WOW64 technology used by MS will allow any 32bit software to run under Windows x64... but 1GB RAM with onboard video no need to spend extra on a x64 OS....

64 bit apps and 32 bit apps are different. 64 bit applications take full advantage of extra address space, new x64 datatype models, "wider" registers etc... Here's some info:

Yes, 32 bit software can run on 64 bit PC.

There is nothing new as from Vidual point a view in Windows x64 :lol: read more. on the given link...

Windows XP x64 would run under 256mb ram, its just the processor you have to make sure has 64bit support, *www.intel.com/products/processor_number/chart/celeron_d.htm there are few models of Celeron processors which all runs at 2.53 GHz so what us ur processors model number ??
