What is Windows 7 64-Bit?
Windows 7 64-bit is a version of Microsoft’s current operating system designed for use on 64-bit systems. A 64-bit system can be identified in Windows by going to Start, right-clicking Computer and choosing Properties. This will display the System screen, where the OS type will be listed against System Type. A 64-bit system is more advanced than a 32-bit one, and requires just a 64-bit CPU and compatible motherboard to be designated as such. Certain games and applications will not run well under Windows 7 64 bit – this is a fact. The problem here is with the way RAM is handled; a different volume of data is processed in a 32 bit system than in a 64 bit system. What 64 bit Windows offers is a step into the future without upgrading all hardware at once, and without requiring all applications to be rewritten. This is thanks to an architecture devised by AMD which specified how to process information from 32 bit into 64 bit.
