vcard 64? i never heard that one before. expound.

naay 64 bit na videocard bro pero obsolete nalang na. pero lahi lang ning 64 bit nga processor kay sa length man na sa register sa processor pero sa videocard kay sa memory interface man nang 64bit

i know na naay mem interface na 64 bit. what i wanted from the previous user was why would a 64 bit vcard be required in having more than 4gb of ram.
cheers.

i have manny 64 bit vcard and 32 bit for sale lol

64-bit na vcards doesn't mean this is 64-bit like the processor. 64-bit means mao ni ang data bandwidth sa card. for a 64-bit operating system only the processor must contain 64-bit instructions. the rest of the devices SHOULD have 64-bit drivers. please everyone, research and understand before you post.

well said. this WAS what i wanted to clarify with jdbebz

In computer architecture, 32-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are at most 32 bits (4 octets) wide. Also, 32-bit CPU and ALU architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size.

32-bit is also a term given to a generation of computers in which 32-bit processors were the norm.

The range of integer values that can be stored in 32 bits is 0 through 4,294,967,295 or −2,147,483,648 through 2,147,483,647 using two's complement encoding. Hence, a processor with 32-bit memory addresses can directly access 4 GB of byte-addressable memory.

The external address and data buses are often wider than 32 bits but both of these are stored and manipulated internally in the processor as 32-bit quantities. For example, the Pentium Pro processor is a 32-bit machine, but the external address bus is 36 bits wide, and the external data bus is 64 bits wide.
