PLEASE NOTE: Even though the true RAM limit for a 32-bit OS is 4 GB, some systems, mainly Windows, may not show all of that RAM as being usable. We get asked about this a lot. The most common RAM limit we see is 3-3.25 GB on a 32-bit version of Windows. This is NOT true for all 32-bit systems, especially ones with a PAE.

Also note… I'd like to make a small correction (it used to be an annotation, but those got shutdown, thanks YouTube!). Chiptune music is commonly referred to as "8-bit music" because of its sound being similar to what you'd hear in retro video games. However, this does not mean 8-bit audio depth sounds like this in all contexts. Could chiptune music fit in 8-bit audio depth? Yes. But not all sounds with 8-bit depth will sound like chiptune. I plan on making a revised version of this video, soon. It'll explain the topics better ; )

The series on bits continues! Please read the description for more info, and video chapters.

In the fourth installment in the series, we go back to the basics of what a bit is, and what it can be used for. We won't just be comparing 32-bit vs 64-bit systems for personal computing like we have done before. We go into the math behind the bits, and we'll see how these bits effect what we do everyday.
