I have a couple questions regarding my computer.
I bought a Dell Dimension E521 computer that says the processor is AMD
Athlon 64x2 Dual-Core 3800+.
I'm running windows vista Home Premium.
When I saw that "64" in my processor description, I thought it meant my
computer was a 64 bit computer but I was looking at the description of my
computer under the system information tab on my computer and it says for
system type : 32 bit operating system.
Does this mean I'm running a 32 bit system and when I look for updated
drivers, I need the 32 bit drivers?
I'm really confused since I don't know what the difference is in the first
place.
And this may seem dumb, but in XP, my recently opened documents always
appeared when I would hit start>>documents, using the old Win 98 classic
view.
When I bought this computer, it too showed the documents at first but now it
doesn't. Not that I really like that long list showing up all the time but I
was wondering why they're not showing up.
I did go in and cleared the documents when they had appeared, but I don't
think any new ones came back and I have opened several documents since I
cleared it out.
I am really feeling my way around this new operating system so I may have
more questions that I hope someone can answer for me.
