  2. MAC address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

    A MAC address (short for medium access control address) is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for use as a network address in communications within a network segment. This use is common in most IEEE 802 networking technologies, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Within the Open Systems Interconnection ...

    Ability to run existing 32-bit applications (.exe programs) and dynamic link libraries (.dlls) using WoW64 if WoW64 is supported on that version. Furthermore, a 32-bit program, if it was linked with the "large address aware" option, [106] can use up to 4 GiB of virtual address space in 64-bit Windows, instead of the default 2 GiB (optional 3 ...

  4. Physical Address Extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension

    However, "client" versions of 32-bit Windows (Windows XP SP2 and later, Windows Vista, Windows 7) limit physical address space to the first 4 GB for driver compatibility [16] even though these versions do run in PAE mode if NX support is enabled. Windows 8 and later releases will only run on processors which support PAE, in addition to NX and SSE2.

    AMD Athlon (early version), a technically different but fully compatible x86 implementation. x86 (also known as 80x86[ 3] or the 8086 family[ 4]) is a family of complex instruction set computer (CISC) instruction set architectures [ a] initially developed by Intel based on the 8086 microprocessor and its 8-bit-external-bus variant, the 8088.

  6. Universally unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier

    Version 1 concatenates the 48-bit MAC address of the "node" (that is, the computer generating the UUID), with a 60-bit timestamp, being the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since midnight 15 October 1582 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the date on which the Gregorian calendar was first adopted by the bulk of Europe, which at that time was ...

  7. 64-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing

    A 64-bit word can be expressed as a sequence of 16 hexadecimal digits. In computer architecture, 64-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units [ a] are those that are 64 bits wide. Also, 64-bit central processing units (CPU) and arithmetic logic units (ALU) are those that are based on processor registers, address buses, or data buses ...

  8. AArch64 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AArch64

    Announced in October 2011, [ 2] ARMv8-A represents a fundamental change to the ARM architecture. It adds an optional 64-bit Execution state, named "AArch64", and the associated new "A64" instruction set, in addition to a 32-bit Execution state, "AArch32", supporting the 32-bit "A32" (original 32-bit Arm) and "T32" (Thumb/Thumb-2) instruction sets.

  9. 32-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/32-bit_computing

    64. 128. v. t. e. In computer architecture, 32-bit computing refers to computer systems with a processor, memory, and other major system components that operate on data in 32- bit units. [ 1][ 2] Compared to smaller bit widths, 32-bit computers can perform large calculations more efficiently and process more data per clock cycle. Typical 32-bit ...
