Default Re: Still researching Dell's, 64bit

Okay, here goes:

64-bit uses twice as many bits as 32-bit to define memory addresses. This is exponential, so the effect is that the system can use far more memory and can allocate far more per application, and is more efficient in dealing with large amounts of data. So you gain an advantage in dealing with and rendering very complex scenes.
