| 1184401 | 2011-03-08 03:24:00 | What's your best analogy for explaining to people the difference between 32bit vs 64bit OS? I'm of the opinion if their have to ask, then it really won't matter to them what the difference is. |

| 1184408 | 2011-03-08 09:01:00 | Simple. Say "it enables the use of more than 4GB, as is found in modern computers". Easy to understand, and correct. It is not the whole story but it's good enough. | george12 (7) | ||
| 1184409 | 2011-03-08 09:50:00 | using a 32 bit OS in todays world is like buying a car that can only use 10% of the fuel tank capacity before needing refuelling. You have all the extra but it just dot give a Sh*t | stifmyster1 (16051) | ||
