Is 64 bit better because the number is bigger? A v6 engine is better than a v8 right? Not really. First, what does 32 or 64 bit mean? Well its how a computer's processor, handles information. If you have more than 3Gb of RAM you must get a 64bit CPU and OS. If you have less, a 32 or 64 bit system will do.The trouble at this current date is how still some programs are compatible. If you buy a new a computer it will usually have a 64 bit system. So when you go install a program make sure its the right version for your system.
