Since the pipeline is the processor's most important means of accelerating instruction execution, the negative impact on performance is significant. NOTE For the reasons explained above, HP does not recommend using your PC to run 16-bit applications. Best performance can only be obtained when running 32-bit applications. Which Applications are 16-bit? All Windows for Workgroups applications are 16-bit. Many older applications, that have been adapted for use under Windows 95, Windows NT, or OS/2, may also be 16-bit. Refer to the manual supplied with your application software for more details. Which Applications are 32-bit? All applications written specifically for Windows NT, Windows 95 or OS/2 are 32-bit. Some examples are listed below. Windows NT/Windows 95 applications: • MS-Office for Windows 95 • MS-Access for Windows 95 • Adobe Photoshop™ 3.0 OS/2 Applications: • Lotus Notes • Lotus Freelance
