System32...

I can't help to be very curious
about what the number "32"
actually means in the system
name folder "System32"

Now, I know what System32 is.
But I have no freakin' idea
what 32 is.
And I cant seem to find any
answer to my question anywhere
on the internet! And that only
makes me even more curious!

Please! anyone! share your
knowlege with me! =)

32bit OS

As opposed to 16 bit or 64bit OS

actually 32 bit applications and associated files.. you can have a "32" directory on 64 bit systems as well.. I guess somebody is on about windoze where they needed to differentiate the 32 bit dll's from the 16 and 8 bit dlls that live in the system directory.

and Seanux (newbie) just came under my radar.. somebody better watch out for making a n00bish statement or talking crap eh? ;) I don't "mock" people.. when I want somebody I go for the throat.. 2+2 .. simples XD
