    Byte and Bits

    Well, electricity is analog and is not just 0 or 1 :)

    Byte and Bits

    Because the bit has two states: on and off :) The byte is normally 8 bits, because it was chosen to be that way.

    Windows Vista

    I suppose it has nothing to do with the fact that you have already paid for your other product (Windows)? :)

    RAM capacity situation makes no sense

    It might just happen. It would be easier to guess, if the OP came back and told us the name of his thing :)

    capture data packets

    It depends on how the network is configured and where you are :) Or did I read it wrong? :)

    3tb not recognized

    Yes, gpt will fix your problem. Btw, multiple partitions with the mbr-scheme will not fix it.

    Is SSD faster than HDD

    The 6 Gbps is the size of the freeway. The hdd and ssd are cars on that freeway. They have different engines :)

    What is Windows 32 console?

    They were more than just GUIs. They were 32bit OSes (running on top of 16bit DOS). DOS was an OS. The command prompt is not.

    viruses and movies

    Technically, if it is an exploit then it could be a part of the movie itself. So there wouldn't be any more files.

    What is Windows 32 console?

    No. The command prompt is 32bit. DOS is 16bit. The two are very, very different. Remember that we are talking about the DOS that was under Win9x.

    What is Windows 32 console?

    That was my point. The command prompt is not DOS. And maybe a bit more than just a simple GUI.

    Is it worth upgrading to 64bit?

    Not everything gets mapped into the cpu's address space. hdd cache for example is not. About vram, usually only 256 MB per gpu is mapped.

    Are you sure about that?

    Windows 7 32-bit or Ubuntu 64-bit?

    It is technical possible, but there is always a risk to executing such exefiles.

    Will Windows 8 require a 128-bit processor?

    Another view of it: Let os say we need to address 2 32bit integers (next to each other). You cannot address both of them at the same time with a single instruction. You can do that with the 64bit architecture.

    Will Windows 8 require a 128-bit processor?

    We are talking about moving data. Moving 2x32 bits takes more than a single instruction.

    Windows 7 32-bit or Ubuntu 64-bit?

    A ramdisk works like a harddrive, but stores your files in ram (even the pagefile). It can make use of ram above 4GB, which 32bit Windows denies access to.

    Will Windows 8 require a 128-bit processor?

    Well, to move 64 bits with a 32bit-command, you need to call it twice. In 64bit you need to call it once. I would call it a practical maximum. It is the way PAE is implemeneted that limits it to 64 GB. Modern 64bit CPUs have a much higher limitation.

    Windows 7 32-bit or Ubuntu 64-bit?

    You can install a ramdisk. That is allowed access to the remainding 4GB in Windows.
