WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 32BITS AND 64BITS OF OPERATING SYSTEMS


32BITS


32BITS Refers to the number of bits that can be processed or transmitted in parallel, or the
number of bits used for single element in a data format. The term is often applied to the
following:

1. Microprocessor: indicates the width of the registers. A 32-bit microprocessor can process data and memory addresses that are represented by 32 bitBs. 
2.  Bus : indicates the number of wires in the bus. A 32-bit bus transmits 32 bits in parallel. 
3. Graphics device, such as a scanner or digital camera : specifies the number of bits used to represent each pixel. Typically 24 bits are used for color and the remaining 8 bits are used for control information. 
4.   Operating system: refers primarily to the number of bits used to repres
