    What is binary? Binary is the long lines of millions of 1's and 0's that goes through the ram as a positive or negative charge to be stored until used by the processor. The processor reads the billions of lines of binary and in turn gives out billions of lines of binary to command the computer to do tasks. Keyboards have a small line of binary for every key, so other than sending the letter of the key pushed, it sends a series of 1's and 0's to be read. Binary is also known as bits. A 64-bit OS means that 64 lines of binary go to the processor at one time, making it twice as fast as a 32-bit based system, but does put more strain on the processor. Everything that you do on a computer requires binary. Computer languages such as C and C++ are large specific commands that are quickly turned into binary. AMD systems have been slowly dropping in C and C++ readability giving them complications in the gaming industry due to the slower change of frameworks to binary without going thought the original computing language of C or C++. Intel still holds onto C and C++ whether they try to or not which helps dramatically in the change from frameworks to binary with a midway point for more specific yet shorter commands making them currently superior in the gaming industry. C and C++ are computing languages that convert binary into readable commands.

    Do not quote me on how AMD and Intel hold onto C and C++ languages, because their motherboards, processors, and other companies operating systems vary to such a degree that how each different possible combination can not be measured to see exactly who holds stronger to C or C++ when it comes to computing language. Fact is all processors can read C and C++, but the rate and way they are read may vary slightly. Do not misinterpret my above statement to mean that anyone companies processor is best at reading computer languages.

    Please respond with any questions or comments you may have.
