VMWare’s free version is VirtualBox’s top competitor. It provides a secure and isolated environment for all your virtualization software needs, such as evaluating new operating systems or testing patches. While VirtualBox works with Windows, Mac, and Linux computers, VMWare functions on Windows and Linux, not Mac.
Gaming in a Virtual box is a bad idea. You wont have the great 3D support that you desire and applications that require a lot of resources will lag. Some games will probably work, like minecraft and minesweeper. But running heavy programs like Battlefield, Skyrim and similar will not work.
VirtualBox can run on 32- and 64-bit hosts and the guests can be 16-, 32- and 64-bit ones.
VirtualBox binaries Version 6.0 will remain supported until July 2020. If you’re looking for the latest VirtualBox 5.2 packages, see VirtualBox 5.2 builds. Please also use version 5.2 if you still need support for 32-bit hosts, as this has been discontinued in 6.0. Version 5.2 will remain supported until July . . . Read more
Bring up command line prompt. Cd into the client directory and type in/run TNSPING. This will display client information and should note 64bit or 32bit.
You can install Oracle 32-bit and Oracle 64-bit on the same server. The two installs must reside in different ORACLE_HOME directories though. So install Oracle 32-bit in a different directory than your 64-bit version and they will both coexist quite nicely.
In Windows. Check the Inst_loc entry value which will be the software installed location. You can use command prompt or you can navigate/explore to the oracle home location and then cd to bin directory to lauch sqlplus which will give you the client version information.
Oracle VM VirtualBox is cross-platform virtualization software. It allows users to extend their existing computer to run multiple operating systems including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Oracle Solaris, at the same time.
64-bit applications require the 64-bit Oracle Client. Some applications are not available for 64 bit or not very common, e.g. MS Office which may utilize ODBC. If you run only 32-bit applications then there is no need to install also an 64-bit Oracle Client.
Bring up command line prompt. Cd into the client directory and type in/run TNSPING. This will display client information and should note 64bit or 32bit.
