Just curious.......Why are so many people asking about 32 or 64 bit system?
Is there a software patch or something of that nature that is making them
ask this?

Thanks!

Yes. It is part of the new RPC worm (virus) that is going
around. Many people are going through the cleanup
procedure and it asks to download a certain patch if you
have 32 bit and a different patch for 64 bit.

Most people will be using 32 bit.

Hope this helps!

yes, thanks guys for the info! Of course they were asking this way before
this happened and now I know why...again thanks!
 
Yes, George. I haven't seen it myself and don't recall where they said it
is, but one pathway through the Windows Update passes a window that offers a
different option for 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

Of course, there are very few 64-bit PCs out there these days, and those
that exist cost a TON of money. Anybody who has one knows it! There will
be more next year, but as of now, if you are not painfully aware of it, you
don't have 64 bits.

Because thet are too ignorant and/or lazy to check the newsgroups for
the hundreds of other posts asking the very same question, or to search
the web.
