Did you ever think about what is 32-bit and 64-bit system? What's the difference between them and which one is fast? In this blog, We will be talking about it.  What is Bit?   A Bit is a Basic Unit of information in a computer that can address a single memory either, 0 or 1 ( 0=False, 1=True ). Similarly, 2-Bit system can address upto 2 2 =4 memories.( 00,01,10,11 ) 3-Bit system can address upto 2 3 =8 memories.( 000,001,010,011,100,101,110,111 ) 4-Bit system can address upto 2 4 =16 memories.( 0000,0001,0010,0011,0100,0101,0110,0111,1000,1001,1010,1011,1100,1101,1110,1111 ) 32-Bit system can address upto 2 32 = 4,294,967,296 or 4GB of memory. 64-Bit system can address upto 2 64 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 or 18Billion GB of memory. Difference: 32Bit 64Bit Support 4GB of RAM Support 18BillionGB of RAM Can Run 32-bit OS and apps Can Run Both 32-bit and 64-bit OS and apps Which is one is fast? In short, a...
