Chrome 32bit or 64bit?

[cooperb21]

Which one is better one to use? I heard that 64bit might have some issues or more bugs on some sites is this true?

 

Is there a real speed difference should I just use 32bit then for better compatibility.

Get 64 bit if it works on your pc, it's faster

Is your CPU 64-bit?

Is your CPU 64-bit?

4930k not sure if it is or not.

It is. Is your OS 64-bit?

[cooperb21]

It is. Is your OS 64-bit?

Yes windows 8.1 64bit.

4930k I goddamn hope so

 

get 64bit so Windows can marginally better deal with when chrome will inevitable eat your RAM like a fat child with chocolate cake.

Yes windows 8.1 64bit.

 

Then use 64-bit everything.

Yea I think I spent to much considering all is play games and watch movies on my pc and browse the web.

 

I guess bright side is I should be good with a 4930k for a long time (I hope)

I haven't experienced any bugs. The 64 bit version is stable, but I'm not sure if there is any benefit.

64-bit applications are faster in theory, but in practice the differences can be small.

It's said that it apparently speeds up video rendering and video decoding.

This is too true.

The main advantage of the 64-bit architecture for general computing is that is includes double the CPU registers of 32-bit, which means fewer memory calls, which are slow. It also includes the SSE instructions which are useful for digital signal and graphics processing, as you mentioned.

How much more RAM usage does this create?

Storing data in CPU registers instead of the stack is both faster and thus uses less memory. However, 64-bit code overall can use more memory because 64-bit memory addresses occupy double the space as 32-bit addresses. So it's a tradeoff in some ways; you're giving up usable memory for speed.

 

The main advantage of 64-bit remains the ability to address up to 256 TB of memory, though.
