32/64 Bit Confusion?
Many of the programs that I use in media production trumpet the fact that they are now written to support 64bit processing.
I currently have a 32 bit processor and as a result, have been told that I can't recieve any of the benefits of my 64 bit capable applications. I'm thinking of getting a new desktop that of course has a 64 bit and probably a dual core chip inside. What concerns me is that I've heard that Operating Systems also come in 32 and 64 bit configurations. If I'm running a 32bit OS, does it matter to my 64 bit capable applications if I have a 64 bit processor? Will the 32 Bit OS, by default, downgrade all of the computers processing to 32 Bits no matter what type of processor I have, or does the 32 Bit OS only limit the OS's performance to 32 bit? |
