1.	Solve : Difference between 64bit & 32bit??
Answer» What is the difference between a 32bit program and 64bit program? Which of them should I use? *sorry for my english.Based on the admittedly small SAMPLE so far provided, your English seems excellent. I think the answer you are seeking is probably something like this: 64 bit Windows programs are written to use the features of 64 bit PROCESSORS, WHEREAS 32 bit programs will only run on 32 bit processors. I don't think there is any point in making this reply a complete description of 32 and 64 bit CPUs and programming for them, so I provide some of links below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit#32-bit_vs_64-bit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-a-32-bit-and-64-bit-operating-system.htm Quote whereas 32 bit programs will only run on 32 bit processors. You meant to SAY 64 bit programs only run on 64 bit CPU with a 64 bit operating system. Quote from: Geek-9pm on June 11, 2011, 08:47:23 AM You meant to say 64 bit programs only run on 64 bit CPU with a 64 bit operating system. That'll teach me to be a wise guy! And to read my posts more carefully before clicking "Post". A 32 bit program will run in: a 32 bit operating system (which will run on a 32 or a 64 bit PROCESSOR) a 64 bit operating system (which will only run on a 64 bit processor) A 64 bit program will only run in: a 64 bit operating system (which will only run on a 64 bit processor) I think I've got that right? Glad you got it right. Must bookmark this!

A 32 bit program will run in:

a 32 bit operating system (which will run on a 32 or a 64 bit PROCESSOR)
a 64 bit operating system (which will only run on a 64 bit processor)

A 64 bit program will only run in:

a 64 bit operating system (which will only run on a 64 bit processor)
