32 or 64 bit

[jdjoubert]

PROBLEM SORTED OUT........... THANX ALL!!!


How do i know witch one my PC is?

I want to download a install file for my parents webcam.

On the Logitech site it ask if I want the 32 or 64 bit version........

how do I know what they have?

If you have any doubt choose 32bit

 

[jdjoubert]

You mean the 32bit Install file will work on a 64bit machine?

 

[PostmanPot]

I'd place bets on them having 32-bit.

You mean the 32bit Install file will work on a 64bit machine?

In most cases, yes. However can be some performance differences (very seldom). Always best to use 64-bit programs on a 64-bit OS.

run msinfo32
look under system type
if it says x86 then its 32 bit
x64 is 64 bit

Ja..... he he....... I know what you mean..........

but the thing is.... they tend to get suckered into buying stuff they dont need.

Just like the damn Logitech Sphere Webcam they bought for R1600.

They usually just go to the computer store and buy whatever the staff there tells them to buy. Then you get some computer guy who would luuuuve to buy the most expensive PC on the shelf, but cant afford it, then tell my parents that THIS is the PC to buy. NOTHING ELSE.
All they do with it anyway is Skype us from Holland to SA and send emails....


Anyway. long story short...... they moved back to SA and now I am trying to reinstall this damn R1600 webcam cause they dont have the install CD no more.......

run msinfo32

x64 is 64 bit

Must I download "msinfo32" or is it somewhere on the PC?

Edit: OK I got it sorted.......... You meant "run" in the start menu................

Googled "Logitech Sphere drivers"?

Nope. Start > Run > "msinfo32"

Or Windows key + R.

Thanx PostmanPot.

I got it sorted now. they have a 32bit machine.

AND now I know how to get the specs of my PC if someone asks....
