[solved] what is x32 , x64 and x86?

What does these version of Windows Mean????
HOw do i know which one is compatible on my PC??
Answer #1
Standard windows xp installation are 32 bits, and noted as x86 systems.
You’ll rarely see x32 because it’s the same as x86
And x64, this is also less seen because it is pretty, it means 64bits systems
Answer #2
x86 refers to 32 bit OS’s (aka x32)…And x64 refers to 64 bit OS’s.
Answer #3
Can i run both on my system?? Whats the difference??
Answer #4
32bit OS’s has more compatibility with software but can read maximum 4gb ram excluding gpu memory. But 64bit reads alot more ram but less compatible with software (older ones) but XP 64 bit has the most compatibility out of the 64bit versions. Vista is working its way up
