i downloaded a 32 bit os on a 64 bit CPU. do i have real life assburgers

Kek it doesn't exist anymore.
And yes you're an incredible faggot for doing that.
you are real life assburgers
>>51495651
now you can install the os twice and run each on half of the processor.
>>51495651
yes. why would you do this?
It's not inherently bad. Tablet manufacturers often do it so that you have more space. If you're not using more than 4gb RAM, then the benefits of 64bit aren't that meaningful.
>>51495651
>>51495967
I would be installing 64bit even if I only 2Gb of RAM.
>>51495651
64-bit provides literally no benefit. It's a meme.
>>51497778
Yeah using more than 4 gigs of ram is such a meme haha amirite
>>51497778
It's not a meme. 32 bit only allows use of 2GB of RAM per process. Even if you have 2GB of RAM, 64 bit would still be better because processes that use more than 2GB of RAM would be able to spool to swap (they wont crash)
>>51497863
You're wrong. It's 4GiB per process.
If it's linux, you are fine.
32 bit windows doesn't like new machines, install 64 bit asap.
>>51497839
Technically 32 bit x86 OSes can use 64 GiB of RAM

>>51497911
No you are wrong. The DEFAULT limit is 2GB, which most 32 bit programs are compiled with for compatibility. In addition, in order to even address more than that, you have to enable PAE, which was not implied in OP's post.
>>51497911
>>51498082
regardless, 32 bit is deprecated
>>51498082
You are right, and wrong, you meant LAA, PAE is what the system should use to be able to use more than 4GiB
>>51498133
Just because you don't use doesn't mean it's deprecated, you dipshit.
>>51497911
2GiB per process
4GiB~ for the whole system
>>51497778
> what are more registers
> what are compiler optimizations
What is the program that created OPs pic again? I see it everywhere
>>51497986
>PAE
haha nigger why would you even use that shit.
>>51495967
Someone clearly doesn't have much understanding of the differences between i386 and x86-64. I'll give you a hint: it's a much bigger upgrade than simply increasing the address space to 64 bits (which, in actuality, is 48 bits).
In reality, the increased number of registers and guaranteed existence of at least SSE2 makes x86-64 worth it even if one has less than 1 GB of RAM. Applications may run faster purely for having a better instruction set architecture.

Is this you op?
