Q

READ AND UNDERSTAND

A
  1. The amount of data sent throughout the system bus
    depends on the size of the bus, i.e., 32-bit or 64-bit.
  2. Latest computer system use a 64-bit bus, but majority still
    uses 32-bit computing size.
  3. 32-bit bus can only process 32-bit application software, or
    else, the hardware will experience overheating.
  4. 64-bit bus can process both 32-bit and 64-bit application
    software.

1) Inter-dependence Self-sufficient and independent of application software. 2) Language Uses a low-level languages like assembly language or machine language. 3) Purpose Used for general-purpose software. 4) Working Starts running when the system is switched on and works till the system is switched on. 5) Simplicity The programming of system software is quite tedious. The difference between system software and application software
1. Needs the support of System Software to function. 2. Uses high-level languages like C++, Java, etc. 3. Used for specific purpose software. 4. Begins only when the user starts, and it stops when the user’s working ends. 5. Can be programmed easily without much effort.
