This page describes rEFInd, my fork of the rEFIt boot manager for computers based on the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and Unified EFI (UEFI). Like rEFIt, rEFInd is a boot manager, meaning that it presents a menu of options to the user when the computer first starts up, as shown below. rEFInd is not a boot loader, which is a program that loads an OS kernel and hands off control to it. (Since version 3.3.0, the Linux kernel has included a built-in boot loader, though, so this distinction is rather artificial these days, at least for Linux.) Many popular boot managers, such as the Grand Unified Bootloader (GRUB), are also boot loaders, which can blur the distinction in many users' minds. All EFI-capable OSes include boot loaders, so this limitation isn't a problem. If you're using Linux, you should be aware that several EFI boot loaders are available, so choosing between them can be a challenge. In fact, the Linux kernel can function as an EFI boot loader for itself, which gives rEFInd characteristics similar to a boot loader for Linux. See my Web page on this topic for more information.
32-bit Excel is limited to roughly 2GB of virtual address space , regardless of how much RAM is installed in your computer. The 64-bit version removes this hard limit, allowing Excel to use all available system memory for large workbooks.
While 32-bit Excel might crash or fail to open files nearing the 2GB limit, the x64 version can theoretically handle files as large as your system's hardware allows. Key Features and Capabilities MICROSOFT OFFICE 2010 EXCEL X64 -thethingy-
