- More processing power: In very basic terms, 64-bit means that it can handle twice as many bits per clock cycle. For more on the technicalities of the architecture, we recommend reading this Wikipedia entry.
What about software issues w/ win 7 64bit? Will all (modern) software work w/ win7 64bit ?
Most 32bit software will run under 64bit as things have improved drastically although if you have an app that you really cannot do without then it would be prudent to see if it worked in a 64bit enviroment.
Off the subject, I still am not used to, nor convinved that I will like, W7's lack of a file tree. Been using tht to navigate WIndows' files since the beginning of Windows.
