Exam 7: Installing Windows
Describe some advantages of a 64-bit versus 32-bit version of Windows.

Another advantage of 64-bit installations of Windows is they can support 64-bit applications, which run faster than 32-bit applications.

Keep in mind that 64-bit installations of Windows require 64-bit device drivers.
