    A little over a year is "pretty old"? The op was asking what the difference between 32bit and 64bit is and that gives a basic, albeit elementary, description. There are certainly more in-depth articles available, but that one kinda sums it up. Hardware may have changed somewhat, but the basis of 64bit coding and processing hasn't.
