what is a 32bit cpu?

I'll explain this a bit further. The processor runs in 32-bit lines of code. The only advantage to 64bit over this is that it can handle more than 4GB of RAM.

well i think it is an 32 bit as windows says it is 32 bit also more than 4 gb of ram does not get detected ! + if he trys to run 64 bit programs they just crash

well of course. it is the OS not the cpu. you can simply upgrade to a 64bit version. well, reformat the PC using a 64bit installer.

well many people do there is not much difference in the os besides there interface and looks the only reason i switched was cause i was pissed of changing themes of xp

okay... for someone with a decent machine. you can't be running win98 on an i5.

[LOST TALE]

My father still has a win98 computer with AGP and _ _ _ instead of PCI express. and some vodoo radeon card lol.

 

We dont use it, we just kept it. Blowing the dust out of it was EPIC.you can still print stuff ( if compatible ) and play some basic games and watch internet.

[SkilledRebuilds]

Some Voodoo Radeon Card.... (If only he also said ...... Nvidia lookin thing)

I'd laugh so hard if I heard an enthusiast running a store saying that....

 

There are plenty of uses for W98 machines. Most of my Gaming Glory days, were of that era.....ALLEYCAT!

Legendary Adventures of Fixing the PC I kept Breaking Badly <-- curiosity and allz

I actually dropped my laptop after reading a few of these. It's a MacBook Pro. Problem?

I didn't have a GPU good enough to run some editing programs, so my friend told me to download one on my laptop.

[Zombater]

So, I went over to my friends house.

He said "I have 4 GB of memory remaining, I need to install this new game (Team Fortress 2) and I need some help clearing my system."

I was like "okay, sure".

So, I checked his desktop computer, and I told him "umm... you have half a TB of storage remaining".

He was like "UGGHHHH, you butthead" and he then proceeded to point to the amount of RAM it showed his computer to have.
I walked out of his house and never, ever returned.

You didn't think to kindly - however much effort and pain it would take - explain to him the difference between ram and storage?
