Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys could help me out here with some confusion about 64bit OS which i'm not very familiar with.
I was thinking of using 64bit OS platforms recently to make the most of my 4gb RAM which doesn't get fully used in 32bit OS but I am wondering what the impacts are in terms of any software development that I do?
I am currently developing a project but not sure what would happen if I develop under a 64bit environment, as in I want my project to be 32bit, if I develop in a 64bit OS would my project be affected in anyway, as in would it get compiled and built as a 64bit application instead of 32bit?
Also another short question not programming related but do 32bit apps work in 64bit OS?
These may be silly questions i'm asking but I have no experience at all with 64bit platforms and have never really taken it seriously enough to look into it.
