Current technologies and capabilities.
Your phrasing suggests I mis-phrased my question.
For a non-geek enduser what difference would there be except for
possible faster response?
That's part of why I was asking for a "reading list" to understand the
trade-offs.
There's nothing, as far as I know, that you gain by sticking with 32-bit
and
don't have with 64-bits. Unless: this all is predicated on your system
board and CPU supporting 64-bit software. Some boards and processors don't
(the Dell Latitude 2100 is an example.)
I'll put together a bootable flash drive with those as menu items to see
which give the desired info and convenient presentation. That should keep
me busy for a while.
Read the man pages, too.
That's been bookmarked for years :}
I get involved in situations where hardware manuals aren't immediately
available. Thus desire to use software to probe a "black box".
I suspect that motherboard and cpu manuals for your systems are available
online.

Rich
