Normally a computer hardware or software could come with 32 or 64 bit versions.
The main difference of these versions is the way they handles the memory.
The 32 Bit processor could support maximum of 4 GB RAM whereas the 64 bit processor could support.
32 bit is 2 to the power of 32,which is equal to 4 Gigabytes
64 bit is 2 to the power of 64,which is equal to 16 Exabytes
The 64 bit memory is 4 billion times more than the 32 bit, which is very huge & virtually this amount of memory could be considered as Virtually unlimited.
The Ram of 32 bit supports only 4 GB memory,so any program above that capacity have to constantly get data from hard disk,which would make the computer slower.
The Ram of 64 bit supports a huge memory than 32 bit,so the processes of a computer would be very higher than 32 bit.
