When I check my windows temp file I find 1800 Text Documents listed that relate to Microsoft Update #'s and dates. Is it safe to delete them.

I'm not a professional but I'm positive it's a yes. It's called Temp for Temporary, you don't need any of the files in there. Those files are more of a history of things that you have done. I know you don't need those files because my Temp is currently empty and my computers fine. I think it's actually good to empty out your Temp folder every once in a while as it is a place where a lot of viruses can lurk from your online browsing. Deleting Temp deletes anything you may have picked up from the net.

Hello,
It is a good idea to clean out your temp files on a regular basis.
These files can build up and clog the works. If the temp files are loaded down your web browser will be slower.
ATF Cleaner will do a nice job of cleaning out uneeded files.
Use once a week and you are good to go.

The purple text in my post are links for you to click on
Computer CPUs are designed so that the address of any piece of data in virtual memory is tracked by a single integer register. So the total amount of data the computer can keep in its working field depends on the width of these registers. A 32 bit register size enables 232 addresses (4 GB) to be referenced. Switching to a 64 bit register increases the available address space to (approximately) 16 TB. This is why 32 bit operating systems can only use up to 4 GB of RAM, and 64 bit operating systems can use much more. (I have a 32 bit system)
