I can't see any information on the processor about it having 32-bit or 64-bit.

No.

32bit can only use up to 3gb of ram, 64bit can use more. 64bit requires atleast 2gb of ram, I'd use it if you can so you have the option of going above 4gb if you ever want to.

Yes, get Windows 7 64-bit.

Why are you so consistently stupid? I don't think you've ever been correct in a computer related thread, and you post in a lot of them.

Can anyone help me.

I'm thinking of getting 64 bit but I only has four gigs o ram.

How can I find a processor which can hold more gigs, without having to change everything?

Processer can only hold 4 gigs btw.

That's not how things work. You are fine using the 64-bit OS as long as you have a 64-bit processor.

After reading Nitramtj and Fredulus' posts, I say you should go for 64-bit.

If you ever get some high-end computer you could play high-end games in 64-bit too.

Bloxxed · April 26, 2011, 03:14:02 AM

No bro, you don't get it.

I only want 64bit if I can get 6 gigs+ RAM.

But my processor doesn't take over 4 gigs.

THE PROCESSOR DOES NOT DETERMINE HOW MUCH RAM YOU CAN USE.

THE PROCESSOR DOES THINGS LIKE 2+2.
