With the OS system being one of the most important things to look out, because it is the most important of all, (well … it runs the computer and lets you run applications and commands the hardware to do all of the stuff; calculate and runs executable software) so we cannot live the memory of Windows, Mac or a free Linux OS. With the variety and diversity of OS systems, one may ask, who in the hell is the difference in all of them? What’s their real difference between one from the other. Just for starters, an Operating System is a sequence of software that gives out commands to the hardware and also to give live to the system all-together.

Operating systems come in all shapes and file size, ranging from office and home uses, like the example of Windows and Apple; to the more enterprise OS software, Solaris and the rest of the server processor from Apple and windows. With all of them have the same properties, which they calculate and transfer in binary numbers or clusters, so that the compatible hardware can understand and as well as the end-user and the software itself, but for the user, they are given in a more simplified version for the novice to understand.

It comes out in a range between the introductions of the first Intel processors the 80286 with enabled 16-bit calculation fabrication, through to the Intel core 2 range with a full support of 64-bit cluster data. So with the huge short span improvement of the power of the humble processor built with either Intel or AMD based platforms, also came with the utilization of the software sector to give birth to how they use that data clusters or as it is called in data rate bit.

So in software they can in the first time it was introduced from Apple, that they transfer data in 16-bit clusters giving it in binary language about 65536bits of data per second, it looks pretty slow for the everyday modern system that we are used to, but it is quite fast to transfer that much data in one place to the CPU and to the Ram (given that the first OS systems use very small amount of page memory files and do not require that much hardware) but through time people and programmers added new improved version of the operating system, introducing other software, word, and also extension files and folders, and for the need of space of data to be transferred. So the data cluster of the hardware rose to a 32-bit transfer rate and gave another boost giving a single cycle a data flow of 4.3 billion bits of data. And form now the 32-bit interface data is the standard user interface in software and in the operating system.

But with the introduction of the Windows Vista and with all of the extension files and the use of page files ever increasing, we have to say that the 64-bit transition looks more of a prospect like the same when the OS system transitioned itself from being a 16-bit to a 32-bit. For the 64-bit gave an improvement in both memory space address and also how the size of data is stored; giving the data cluster per cycle of 1.8×10^19 bits. Already giving quadruple or more of how data is stored and transferred and also giving the RAM address in software exceeding to 16 Exabyte’s of RAM and able to increase the Ram space available to the system, but for now the 64-bit in still far but reachable, there are some OS that already support 64-bit most of them are free and some have to pay extra to acquire a bigger bandwidth size.

  1. Actually, Mac OS X is more open then Windows. Mac OS X’s kernel, Darwin, is open source.

    Is this article supposed to be English? I can understand speed may be important, but really, there are so many mistakes that reading the article becomes problematic.

  3. UHHH. you need to actually hack and use other type of software to fully utilize the MAC OS and also 64-bit has a higher bandwitdth and uses larger bits than its 32-bit counterpart so it improves performance quite abit if you use 4GB more RAM.

    I agree with Lawrence - the author needs to appreciate the confusion a run-on sentence can cause. Thanks for the article, Royce, but it’s time to go back to English 101 if you want folks to appreciate your efforts.

  5. Hmm… Looks like a bit of confusion has been happening without me being on Atlantis Gamers. Well I didn’t write this article I only put back links for it but the account is under my name. The true author was Royce. I will tell him to fix it up. Sorry for the confusion problem. Btw the other comment made by me was him too, W have a couple of people writing for Atlantis Gamers.
