We all know that 64-bit is going mainstream, coupled with the latest released OS – Windows 7, it can be seen Windows 7 with 64-bit operating system will dominate the market. Though many users are still using Windows XP, Win 7 cannot be replaced XP a period of time, all of us could see that the trend of Win7 is upwards. If you have Intel dual-core processor, or newer, that means you have a 64-bit CPU. With 64-bit OS, 4GB of RAM is the minimum standard, and with 4GB, you can run tons of applications with zero slowdown, it makes your system run beautifully.

However, having a 64 bit OS doesn’t automatically make all applications faster because much of today’s software is written and optimized for a 32 bit era. So we have changed our apps to it, and any bumps in the road have been smoothed out. Our PCHand is specifically optimized for 64 bit processing to take advantage of any speed improvements. Our teamwork are working hard to develop the most useful and practical software for you. Go to our website you will find, PCHand Screen Capture update quickly, almost twice a month! And the new software – PCHand Screen Recorder has just been released. Both of them could run under the 32/64-bit system and the new OS – Windows 7.

PCHand released Screen Capture Recorder Suite on Oct. 30, which is your best partner for desktop screen capturing and recording, includes PCHand Screen Capture and PCHand Screen Recorder.

With PCHand Screen Recorder, you could

1. Create a demo video to clearly demonstrate your thoughts.
2. Explain how to use a program.
3. Make game videos to show how cool you are in the game.
4. Share screen activities with your best friends.

With PCHand Screen Capture, you could

1. Capture a long webpage.
2. Capture an active window.
3. Capture the screen and sent the captured images the build-in editor.
4. Capture the screen and sent the screenshot to the MS word, PowerPoint or E-mail it directly.
5. Add your company’s mark automatically on all of the captured images.
6. Add caption and edge effects automatically when capture is taken.

Not long ago, I received a query concerning when the 64-bit systems will replace the 32-bit systems. In fact, many of the systems are 32-bit, so this issue is still too early to say. Need one year or two, maybe not. Microsoft has decided to officially release its 64-bit operating system-Langhorn in April next year. According to some of the latest news, we can see that 64-bit systems may become the mainstream, or 64 and 32-bit systems will dominate the market at the same time.

Therefore, I want to explain some difference between 32 and 64-bit systems in order to give you all some help.

The basic concepts

The 64-bit technology we usually say is compared to 32-bit, and the bit is the GPR’s (General-Purpose Registers) data width which is 64. That is one processor can run 64-bit data. 32-bit processor can only handle 32-bit, which is 4 bytes of data; while the 64-bit processors, one will be able to handle 64-bit, 8 bytes of data.

In a 32-bit computer, the width (or size) of the data is 32-bits. A 64-bit is twice as wide so the system can move twice as much data around. Being able to process more data means a faster system. Normal office productivity and web surfing will show no advantages at all, whereas graphics processing and scientific calculations will go much faster. However, it is also said 64-bit systems is still has some shortcomings which are going to solve.

Different prices

Good thing is that the price of the 32-bit systems has been dropping. Already, prices for desktop systems are running about half of what they were this time last year. Over the next few months, those prices will drop even further. If you need (or want) to buy a new system, this is the time. But the entire 64-bit system has be designed and built for the wider data, so the system will cost more.

Different requirements

Comparison of system requirements

Applications that 64-bit systems can be used

Most 32-bit software will run on a 64-bit system, such as:

Office 2003 Professional
Microsoft Front Page 2003
Microsoft One Note　　
Adobe 7.0 Reader
Crap Cleaner
PCHand Screen Capture
Registry Defragmentation for Windows (version 7.0)
Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional
Password Corral (v4.0)
GMAIL Notifier
Yahoo DSL Browser and Software

I have been asked many times to recommend free screen capture software. So in this post, i would like to introduce some different ways to capture screen, and free.

For Windows

1) Snipping Tool

There is a free screen capture tool called ‘Snipping Tool’. This tool could help you capture any part of the screen by using a selection rectangle. But this program is strictly Windows. It appears to have great reviews from windows users. It’s truly a helpful and easy tool to use and it is free with Microsoft Windows Vista.
Some Windows versions already have the snipping tool so be sure to do a search on your computer first. If you can’t find it, see the link below:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/News-Newsgroups-Blog-Tools/Snipping-Tool-Integration.shtml

2) ‘Print Screen’ key on the keyboard

The ‘Print Screen’ key is on everyone’s keyboard and not widely used or known. When you press the ‘PrntScr’, the full screen is captured and saved in memory and ready for your use. You can paste (Ctrl+V) the screenshot into MS Paint, MS Word and other graphic editor to make it out and edit it. Often, you don’t need the entire screenshot. So I suggest using the ‘ALT+PrntScr’ combination to capture the active window.

3)MWSnap

MWSnap is a small yet powerful Windows program for snapping (capturing) images from selected parts of the screen. It does not require installation and does not need any special dlls, drivers or system files which can mess up your system.

For Macs

1)Cmd Shift 3 (entire screen), Cmd Shift 4 (square)

2)Screenshot Plus

Screenshot Plus Widget could help capture an entire screen, sections of a screen, timed screens, and grab pictures of widgets. It’s only available for Macs and extremely easy to use.

3)Skitch

Skitch has screen capture capabilities and the basic editing features, besides, it also has the ability to annotate and text.

Window 7 improves the system start-up time, and the time from the sleep state to running state has also been improved, which makes win7 run more rapid.

2. More personalized desktop

In Windows 7, users can do more operations and personalized settings on their desktop. For example, there are too many types of desktop wallpaper, when you don’t know which one to elect, Win7 could help you solve this problem. Now, users can simultaneously select more than one type of wallpaper and let them slide on the desktop like PowerPoint. Besides, you can also set the speed of sliding.

3. New designed toolbar

Once access to Windows 7, you will note the new designed toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This tool bar has been used since Windows 95, until today, has substantive change in Windows 7. All the applications on the toolbar are no longer with text description, only have a icon, move the mouse over the icon, there will be a thumbnail of the opened window, click it again will open the window.

4. Powerful Windows Media Center

Windows Media Center not only makes the users enable to manage pictures, music and video easily, but also is a customizable personal television. As long as the computer connected to the network, or plugged in a TV tuner card, you can enjoy varieties of Internet video or high-definition digital TV programs anywhere at any time through Windows Media Center. At the same time, you can also connect Windows Media Center with TV, so that it could bring a whole new experience while using the TV.

Windows 7 through the Libraries and Homegroups, two major new features, improves the Windows network.

7. A higher level of user security mechanism

User Account Control, this concept was first introduced by Windows Vista. Although it could provide a higher level of safety and security, but the frequent pop-up prompt window makes some users feel inconvenienced. In Windows 7, Microsoft innovate this security features, not only significantly reduce the frequency of prompt window’s appearance, but also the user will have greater freedom while setting it. In addition, Internet Explorer 8 that comes with Windows 7, are safer than the previous versions.

8. Super Hardware Compatibility and Higher system requirements

Microsoft–leader of IT industry, Windows 7’s birth means that the entire information system will face a full upgrade. Although some products can be used in the win7, such as PCHand Screen Capture, many products can’t. So the hardware and software manufacturers will also face more challenges and more opportunities.
