A local graphic design company is upgrading its design workstation to handle larger and more complex projects. The owner wants to ensure that the new system can effectively utilize more than 4GB of RAM to manage heavy design software. What type of processor architecture should the owner ensure is included in the new workstation?
64-bit processor architecture
ARM architecture typically found in mobile devices
The 64-bit processor architecture is able to handle more than 4GB of RAM due to its larger address space. This accommodates more physical memory, allowing for better performance with demanding applications like graphic design software, which can require significant memory usage. 32-bit processors, on the other hand, have a limitation of addressing up to 4GB of RAM due to the smaller addressable space, typically not sufficient for heavy design tasks.
