matrix0978 Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 What exactly is the big difference between 32bit and 64 bit?
Marsden Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Large memory address space... initial support up to 32 gigabytes (GB) of RAM and up to 16 terabytes of virtual memory. Physical memory support will grow in the future as hardware capabilities expand.
Alanoll Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 the float point calculations should increase in size as well....As the registers are doubled, allowing for a much larger value to be stored. (why there's also an increase in RAM, the system can address a larger value)
