The memory was touched on already, iirc 32 bit os can only read up to 4GB of ram at the most, with applications limited to 2GB without some tricks to get up to 3GB....
That said, I'm also wondering if it's because of the multiple OS it has to run on? While yes, at the 2016 FanFest they said "please upgrade from Win32bit to Win64bit" not everyone can afford to. I'm not a programmer though so that's a wild guess. Anyone who is a programmer around to confirm/deny that? The most I know is that they're different in how things are run, but any programming for a Win32 or Win64 is beyond me.
...
I believe most cpus nowadays can run as 64bit.
I don't know offhand what cpu was the last that couldn't run 64bit and was limited to 32bit...
Just have to remember to install the 64bit version of the os if your cpu can handle 64bits, or upgrade to the 64bit version.
I have learned new things out of this thread, thanks for answering my questions on the programming side!![]()
