    32bit to 64bit diffrence in code?

    iam new to coding and got 2 comuters, 1st i an Acer Aspire laptop with a amd 32 proccessor, 2nd Hp Amd athlon 64bit proccessor. I have to run 64 bit linux on my Hp computer since it has the famous X-FI sound card.

    Your coding on both systems should be quite similar. Just be aware as you code that pointers (and possibly other data types) aren't necessarily 4 bytes long.

    For more detailed discussions on the differences, google this:
    Code:
    difference 32 64
    Some of the search results will be quite irrelevant, but others will be helpful, I'm sure.
