What is the main difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Processors? Which of the following 32-bit and 64-bit computer operating systems will you use?

In order to keep pace with this 21st century information technology, a personal computer has become a necessary part of life. In the meantime, many technologies related to computers have been developed. Going to use the computer has exceeded the limits of human knowledge.

There was a time when we only knew Microsoft products as operating systems, especially Windows XP. To use the Windows operating system to install on a computer, you had to take the help of someone skilled in this matter. With the easy availability of internet now everything is in our hands.

When we try to install an operating system and various software on a computer, we often come across two words; ‘32-bit ’and ‘64 -bit’. ‘Bit’ is actually the unit of all such digital storage gauges as our widely known ‘kilobytes’, ‘megabytes’, ‘gigabytes’.

Now, where 1 kilobyte is too small for us, why bother with even less (‘32-bit ’and ‘64-bit’) storage for computer processors or operating systems! Today's discussion will try to explain this matter in simple language

But before that one thing needs to be clarified. ‘32-bit’ and ‘64-bit’ computer processors and ‘32-bit’ and ‘64-bit’ operating systems or any software are not one thing. Processor, also known as CPU (Central Processing Unit); In this case, '32-bit 'and '64-bit' refer to the length of the processing register. On the other hand, the '32-bit' and '64-bit' quantities in the description of an operating system or software refers to the permission to use the processing register.

Brief elucidation  about 32 bit and 64 bit processors & operating system : 

Entering the discussion of the processing register will actually leave the bibliography. In simple terms you can compare it to a location or permission to use a place. You write the numbers on a piece of paper to add two big numbers, but the paper is not doing the job for you. Rather, the work will be done in your brain, the numbers are so large that you just have to write the numbers in one place on the paper. In this scene, the paper is playing the role of a RAM, and your brain as a processor. Try adding two decimal numbers 97 and 63, step by step you are processing two digits in the brain; First 6 and 3 in the unit cell, then 6 and 8 in the decade cell, 9 and 8 in the century cell. This is how a processor computes or calculates by taking the temporary two-based binary numbers in RAM.

If you add-subtract binary numbers, you will understand the matter better, you have to imagine small to large registers for numbers of different lengths.

Since the computer will calculate, the processor needs to be used to calculate by placing binary numbers (binary digits; abbreviated as 'bits') in a location. Simply put, these 32-bit and 64-bit express the computing power of a processor. Surely you can calculate more in a 20 page book than in a 10 page book. And if the amount of calculation is specified and 20 pages of equal calculation is allowed to be done in the middle of 10 pages, then the work of counting in full ten pages with pencil should be done in half and the remaining half should be done by deleting the pages. In that case we will need more time.

But in the context of the current technology market, even if you don't think much about the processing power of a processor. Because the processors are made by completing the 64-bit register. In the nineties, 32-bit processors were at the top of popularity. Intel's Pentium series, AMD's early processors all used 32-bit long registers. For all these processors, Microsoft's operating system was Windows 95, 98, XP; Which was 32-bit.

As mentioned earlier, 32-bit processors and 32-bit operating systems are not the same thing. You can never use a 64-bit operating system on a 32-bit processor. You can't say with a bag of five books in your hand, "Show me 100 books!" In 1981, IBM developed a supercomputer with a 64-bit register. Mentioned in the name - 'super' computer. It is not suitable for indoor use.

We have to wait for many years for 64-bit processors to come to our personal computers. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the work of reducing the size of this powerful processor began to reach the house. In line with this, Microsoft also appeared in the technology market with the 64-bit operating system of Windows XP. Later, Windows Vista, 6, 7, 10, all operating systems were unveiled in 32-bit and 64-bit pairs.

A 64-bit long register processor allows you to use both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Whether you keep 100 books in a bag that can hold 100 books or 50, it depends on your desire. But if you decide, keep fifty books, half the space but going unused. If you use a 32-bit operating system on a 64-bit processor, you are not using the full capacity of the processor.

When downloading software from any website, you must have seen that the software has both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. You need to download according to your processor and operating system. For example, Adobe's Creative Cloud software requires both 64-bit processor and operating system. All of these softwares require a lot of computing storage. In that case, even if you can use it in 32-bit operating system, it will be very slow, lagging, wasting time.

You can easily find out exactly how many bit processors and operating systems your personal computer has.

First open command prompt from keyboard  WIN + R .

Now type "cmd" in the box. Then click on enter.

Now type "systeminfo" in your command prompt. Then tab on enter button from your pc keyboard.

After completed all tasks exactly then you see all about your device from here. You can see your processor bit , you can see from here your device motherboard model with manufacturer company name .And then you can your ram status by the same command in the command prompt.

Let's also talk about the functionality of RAM in discussing the processor's relationship with the operating system. As mentioned earlier, by setting 32-bit and 64-bit on an operating system or software, you are allowing the software; The software is able to use the location of your processor to start the computer. He will assign the location of the processor RAM as per permission.

The number of locations he will be allowed to use according to the length of a register depends on the power of that length at 2. This means that a 1-bit processor will be able to calculate by placing binary numbers in a 2 byte location of RAM (2 ^ 1 = 2 bytes). In the same way-

2 ^ 2 = 4 bytes

2 ^ 3 = 8 bytes

2 ^ 4 = 16 bytes

With so many numbers, why should it be on top of 2? The reason is that the computer understands only binary numbers, there are only two numbers in binary - 0 and 1. If decimals or any other numerals were used, the structure of the register would be more complicated. Considering all aspects, our computers have been introduced in binary language.

Now let's come to the processor we used. A 32-bit processor means that it is allowed to use RAM location 2 ২ 32 = 4,294,96,296 bytes / 4,194,304 kilobytes / 4,096 MB / 4 GB. If you also use 16 GB of RAM in a 32-bit operating system, it will not be of any use to you. Because, only 4 GB of RAM space is allowed to use your processor.

Similarly, 64-bit calculations, the storage capacity is a huge number of 2 ৬ 64 = 20 digits, also a huge number as gigabytes. It has to be used to express beautifully through the Exabyte unit; 1 exabyte = 1,083,641,624 gigabytes. Stands at 18 exabytes; Which can only be thought of theoretically. In practice, up to 8 terabytes / 8,192 GB of RAM has been used so far. Simply put, on a 64-bit operating system you can use any RAM available in the technology market above 4 GB.

Only use a 32-bit operating system if your computer has 4 GB or less of RAM. With enough RAM in a 64-bit operating system, you can do multiple things at the same time on a computer, launch programs, and open many tabs in a web browser. Doing the same thing on a 32-bit operating system will make things slower.

Suppose the amount of RAM in your computer is 4GB or less then you can use 32bit system but if your requirement is more than 4GB RAM then you need to use 64bit operating system.If you use a 32bit processor on a system with 8GB RAM, only 4GB of your 8GB RAM will be used and the remaining 4GB will be inaccessible.

Surely to make full use of a 64-bit processor or operating system, a person will consume the maximum amount of RAM possible. If not, why is the world's greatest processor, the human brain lazy?

Have you ever thought that you have a computer in your house that is more powerful than the control computer for the Voyager-1 space probe sent from NASA in 198, as your personal property? The power of this personal computer is infinite, if you can use it properly with the skill of your brain.
