32 bit

[N1COL3]

When it will come for 32 bit?

[No_Whey]

Probably never. 32 bit is obsolete, and has been for a while.

Don't wait for it, install 64-bit Windows or try playing in Android emulator.

The last 32 bits only OS was Windows 98.

While I always had the upmost respect for that OS, that's like discussing the bronze age in relation to what computers evolved to right now.

So, to answer your question... Never.

Not true. And even Windows XP 64-bit version was poorly supported ♥♥♥♥. But since Windows 7 x64 there's not much reason to use 32-bit Windows if you have at least 4 Gb of RAM. I've only switched to 64-bits on Windows 7 when i upgraded PC so it has 8 Gb of RAM.

Why would there be a Windows XP 64 bits if there was absolutely nothing running in 64 bits at the time?

Unless it was added way, way later on...

Don't change that Windows XP was the first decent Windows OS ever. Imagine, you didn't have to restart your computer every 4 hours or so because the OS was stable! Amazing!

Exactly, but it does exist. It was not advisable to use it even back then - poor driver support.
Of course it was made later than 32-bit, probably for kiosks when 64-bit hardware became more common.

Yeah, WinXP was great. I also like Win98SE and Win7 too.

Actually, there are still tablets which are limited to running 32bit Windows, such as the Acer Aspire Switch 10. This is not just about "old Windows", but limitation in modern hardware.
