By Stephen Bucaro

Knowing whether you have a 32 bit or 64 bit Windows 7 operating system is important because 64 bit drivers will not work with a 32 bit operating system and if you have a 64 bit operating system, your computers performance will improve greatly if you use 64 bit applications and drivers.
