It has been always confusion between whether we should use 32bit OS or 64bit system… and in present time it has been quite common to have 64 bit system specially in an enterprise environment or even servers.

ASP.NET and Page Not Found Error while debugging !
Being sunny weekend today, with full of energy I began to work on making some prototype application which I have to present to my client sometimes during next week.

SQL Server Installation Rules and “System Reboot Required” Error

Today, when we were
