If anyone could oblige, and give a quick and clean, point for point rundown of the pros and cons of having a 64-bit system over a 32-bit system, I would greatly appreciate it.
You get a 64bit. You don't get a 32 bit if you have a choice of 64.
Simple enough?
Is it true that software written for a 32-bit OS won't run on a 64-bit system?
The occasion is that I will most likely be picking up a new laptop this week. The one I currently use is 32 bit system. The one I am looking at is only offered in 64 bit. I use my laptops for basic computing and word processing, but also for watching movies with my wife, and for some gaming with my boys.
What does it affect, and are there changes in software, etc, that have to be made between the two specs?
Btw, I can't believe how quickly computer sales change over the course of just 18mos. Everything that was a higher-end option (such as a BluRay slot drive, better processor, etc, etc) now comes standard on a similarly priced model. The baseline laptop even comes with a silly little facial security scan built in. Insane.
I agree with the recommendation to go to 64-bit for more RAM. If you're running Logos and a lot of other apps concurrently during research you might find it beneficial to have more RAM. RAM is so cheap today compared to what it used to be.
My reco: Go with 64-bit architecture and OS. I have three systems presently 64-bit, two Intel and one AMD. Mix of Windows Vista and Ubuntu 64-bit OSes. Never had a problem getting an app to run. Never had an issue with driver support.
32-bit is so '90s.
Yeah. I remember paying $300 for 32K (yes, kilobytes) of extra memory in my original TRS-80.
I remember paying 25 cents for a loaf of bread.
