I want to learn the difference between x32 and x64 and how can I learn which one is my computer using? Does the properties option show it?
How can I learn if my computer is x32 or x64? What is the difference between them?
Quick easy way is to right click on MY COMPUTER and select properties on the screen that pops up it should give a description of your SYSTEM eg CPU and RAM.
The difference between the two is a whole chapter in itself but think of it this way..32(bit) has 32 paths(channels) for data to travel on ( yes a big freeway.. Highway for all you non OZzie people) 64(bit) has 2x as much therefore can transmit much faster (doubled the lanes on the freeway)
This sounds great eh??
well not really unless you are running a 64bit OS there is not much performance gain better off getting a Dual core(2 CPU's on the 1 chip)
XP does come in a 64bit format BUT (big one) there is very little in the way of productivity software out there to run on a 64bit XP and I am not going into the lack of 64bit drivers for all you hardware...
Better to get a copy of Linux in 64bit architecture that will have all the supporting software to make it very useful.
I run a 32bit XP and a 64 bit Linux(UBUNTU distribution) on a AMD x64 Dual core 4200mhz and the performance difference is quite staggering
I hope this gives you enough info if not you can do your own research quite simply by typing "32bit V 64bit" into a search engine ( no recommendations as to which one you choose :)
Just tried it myself and came up with a very good explanation in Wikipedia
Reply:It is probably x32 but you can tell by checking your Windows Install Disc. It should say on there. x64 from what I understand does not support a lot of applications just yet. It will not tell you which version you are running in the properties. (Hope that Helps)
Reply:If it Windows, right click My Computer and select properties. You'll find out if your machine is a 32 bit or 64 bit. The difference is a technical one - the bit size is the amount of information processed at a time. A 64 bit processor can process twice the amount than a 32 bit. However, this is only useful if the operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and the application you are running (Office, Tiger Woods 2007, Photoshop, etc) can take advantage of the extra processing power. As of now, 64 bit machines are popular in a business environement where business software manufacturers and developers write 64 bit code. There are home PCs and laptops that have 64 bit processors (Acer features a 64 bit AMD Turion) but you really won't have any advantage over a 32 bit machine just yet. I give it a few years at least. Anyway, the home market tends to level off so if the big guys (Dell, Lenovo, Gateway, etc) start selling 64 bit PCs, everyone follows since they don't want to be left behind. Don't hesistate in purchasing a 32 bit PC should the need arise.
Reply:click on: start/control panel/display/and settings. you will see under color settings. probably 32bit which would be your highest color quality.

How can i understand that my computer contain a virus?
How can i understand that my computer contain a virus? And how do i protect this?
How can i understand that my computer contain a virus?
Anti-Virus program. There are many free ones out there. AVG Free Edition... Avira AntiVir... Avast!.... Scan with them. Also, you know you have a virus when your files start getting corrupted... or when other people start complaining that you're sending e-mails when in reality you haven' sent anything... that's a worm.
Hope I helped.
Reply:If you use an Anti-virus, you can both scan for viruses and prevent from getting viruses. They can run from $50+ in stores but it's definitely worth it. For more information, you should go to your local computer electronics store and ask for their selection of Anti-viruses.
Reply:it usually becomes slow and sluggish
then it doesn't respond to commands and clicks
then your system dies
use free antivirus software from avg or antivir. and pair it with antispyware software from lavasoft or iobit.
good luck.
Reply:sorry i only know how to make them

What is the best brand of computer to buy?
I am planning on getting a new computer, and need some advice on what kind is the best.
What is the best brand of computer to buy?
I recommend HP. Dell is good, but trust me, customer service for Dell sucks. Of course I think that this Dell customer service problem is partly because of the customer who does not understand the difference between system problem and Windows Operating System problem.
Reply:You should strongly consider a newer macintosh that has the intel core duo processor. These new models will run both MacOS and WindowsOS, providing the best of both worlds. In addition you get the impeccable world class quality of apple hardware which, until now, was only available to people that were willing to forego windows operating system.

Reply:my prefrence is sony vaio. hp would be second, followed by toshiba, fujitsu.
Reply:well that is a very personal choice...hence the big mac vs pc debate. I'm a mac girl personally. But I work on both, and have used many different types.
I would stay away from Gateway, compaq, and HP. Better options are Sony, Dell's, or IBM computers IMO. But there are cheaper offshoot brands I know nothing about. Also for a PC, you may want to consider custom.
Before you buy, figure out your needs. Do you need mobility? Is a laptop best for you? Or do you only want a Desktop for your office? What types of things are you doing w/ your computer? Is it for business only? School/college? Internet, Photos, Music?
If you have never owned a computer before, and are not very savvy on either OS (xp, or mac OSX), I would suggest going w/ OS X - it is MUCH easier to use, very intutive, and offers much more fun and creative tools...MORE creative people go w/ a mac. *If you are also looking for something more reliable, and something more long lasting, a mac is your answer - there are many to choose from, and I'm sure one would fit your needs. If your not sure, go to a mac store and see for yourself!

How do I copy music and pictures from my computer to my mobile?
I have Samsung mobile model SGH-X120.
Infrared communication can be setup between this mobile and my computer which is running on windows XP. How do I copy music and pictures from my computer to my mobile?
How do I copy music and pictures from my computer to my mobile?
if you are using infrered, go to your music file in the phone seletc option and select send via infrared option. then go to control panel in you PC select infrared devices and double click and open the program. then bring your phone near to the infrared port of you PC or Laptop. it's a dark colour glass kind of thing which is normally located on the side of a laptop. bring the 2 infrared ports fac to face (phone and computer) . they need to be close by also. then your PC will show a pop up menu saying incoming fil. accept it. u'll get the files to your PC.
Pls note if the intrared ports re not close by and face to face your computer will not detecet the incoming files. (which i think is a negative aspect of infrared when you compare with bluetooth transfer)
Reply:first of all,i would like to know if u have a data cable.if u have it,i have the answer.
what u will do is first install the software from cd-rom given in the set.after installation just connnect your data cable to u.s.b port and open the software.
there is one option init i.e file transfer.select that and now you are ready to copy your music and pictures from computer to your mobile and from mobile to computer too.
But remember your mobile must have a data cable
Reply:Yes you can you will need a data cable. to do that

Whats the fastest way to move everything in my iTunes from one computer to another?
Im trying to put DVDs on my iPod, but my one computer has a DVD drive, so I want to move everything from one computer to the next. My ideas so far are... try to find all my cds (which would take a long time, my friends have most and idk if i can find them) or e-mailing all the songs to myself then opening them on the other computer. Ive got gmail so it shouldnt bog down my email too bad.
Whats the fastest way to move everything in my iTunes from one computer to another?
You do to have an external hard drive.... Your iPod!
Just place the music that is on computer A, onto the iPod, then connect it to computer B and place all the files onto that computer.
Reply:Get yourself an External harddive and move things that way. Simply open up both the external and your Music file..and drag and drop the whole file in..then..disconnect and reconnect to your other computer..and reverse the drag and drop back into your new computer..its easy!
Reply:download all the songs from the internet....
use limewire

What is the solution when my computer says that my Web browser has encountered a problem and needs to close?
I get this several times a week and I tried using Internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox. I know my computer needs more RAM.
What is the solution when my computer says that my Web browser has encountered a problem and needs to close?
Agreed with the RAM Part. U can reinstall Internet explorer and firefox and try. U can use task manager under the tab processes and monitor Firefox and internet explorer usage and see who is giving the problem. Laterz.
Reply:I got out of this problem just by upgrading Internet Explorer if you have all the latest updates this dose not normally happen or you can just simply reinstall internet explorer.

How do I get norton anti-virus off my computer and use Yahoo or microsoft instead?
I just want to keep Norton utilities but get all of the huge and costly group of things on Norton anti-virus. It virtually takes over my computer and I can't get updates even from HP, my computer maker!
How do I get norton anti-virus off my computer and use Yahoo or microsoft instead?
control panel, add/remove programs;)
Reply:Use Symantec's tool from http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsg...
The uninstaller leaves stuff behind, but this should clear everything.
Don't keep anything of the Norton software: it can all be replaced and anything will continue to break your computer. Don't use the Yahoo! stuff, that is Norton too, and Microsoft Live OneCare is terrible.
You can do better for free; get these:
Avira: http://www.free-av.com/
Spyware Terminator (turn off web security guard): http://www.spywareterminator.com/
