[gui-talk] 32 bit VS 64 bit!

[chris hallsworth]

Hi,
All machines are in fact 64 bit computers; it's the fact new ones now 
come with a 64 bit operating system. You can however downgrade to 32 bit 
if you feel the programs and hardware you use will not meet 64 bit 
requirements. There is a 64 bit version of JAWS available, but that's 
not all; you need to check that your current hardware has 64 bit drivers 
as 32 bit drivers will not work on a 64 bit operating system. Most 
standard 32 bit programs however will work just fine on a 64 bit 
operating system. This is thanks to a special emulation 64 bit Windows 
uses called wow64.
