Hiya Betty and thanx for the "welcome back". Any rumors you heard of my demise were greatly exaggerated. :O) The best way I can describe the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit computing is probably not to describe it at all. I would most likely end up writing a short book about it. lol Instead, here's a site that gives a short overview that might just be what you're after. If you need more, let me know and I'll find some more extensive descriptions for ya. http://wapurl.co.uk/?982Q17W And I'm holding off on Buena Vista, too. At least for now. lol Peace, GMan "The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Betty Ellison" <betty.ellison@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2007 12:15 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- RAM question > I've been a lurker on this group for a long time (from before GMan had > disappeared and then returned), and finally have a question. :) > Explain the 64 bit as opposed to the 32 bit operating system.
