Why do some programs show the type of my CPU as Core i3?

No problem at all,

But only I have just this different question, I hope you reply me.

On Windows 7: Open Windows explorer to the c:\Program Files\Belarc\Advisor\System\tmp directory (on 64-bit Windows c:\Program Files (x86)\Belarc\Advisor\System\tmp).
I think that It should have been said the reverse.

This is just what I found it, but I am quite surprised that my Windows is 64bit and I found that the result is in Windows c:\Program Files (x86)\Belarc\Advisor\System\tmp).
As far as I know that 'Program Files' for Windows 64bit, however, \Program Files (x86) for 32bit.

You're 64-bit machine can run 32-bit programs. Not sure but I don't think Belarc makes a 64-bit version.

Thank you very much
As long as that Belarc doesn't make with a 64-bit version, then if you have a look at this, you will be finding out that it should have been said
'On Windows 7: Open Windows explorer to the c:\Program Files (x86)\Belarc\Advisor\System\tmp directory (on 64-bit Windows c:\Program Files (x86)\Belarc\Advisor\System\tmp). Then right click on the file named (COMPUTERNAME).

But that wouldn't be correct as you're not taking into account machines running the 32-bit version of w7. Instead, you would state it as:

'On Windows 7: Open Windows explorer to the c:\Program Files (x86)\Belarc\Advisor\System\tmp directory (on 32-bit Windows c:\Program Files (x86)\Belarc\Advisor\System\tmp). Then right click on the file named (COMPUTERNAME).

Just a different "frame of mind" I guess. With the huge number of 32-bit machines (x86) manufactured over a couple of decades and so many of them still in use, it's probably best to state it the way they did. When 64-bit becomes the predominant platform they'll likely change the way they make such statements.

Thank you so much,

But I know all programs which are 32bit installing in the directory Program Files (x86)\; however, 64bit installing in the directory Program Files.

But Belarc, being a 32-bit program, will install in the Program Files (x86) folder on a 64-bit OS. Keep in mind that the x86 designates 32-bit.

If you install Belarc on a 32-bit OS it'll be placed in the Program Files folder.

The older 32-bit OS/machines couldn't run 64-bit programs so programs would typically install to the Program Files folder. There was no need to have two separate folders.

Newer 64-bit system can run both 32-bit and 64-bit. But they must be kept separate. Say you found a new program you want to try on your 64-bit system called My New Program. But it's available in both 32 and 64-bit versions. When you install the 32-bit version it should install into the Program Files (x86) folder, the 64-bit version will keep its files separate from the 32-bit version and should install into the Program Files folder. You can now try out each version; in your Start Menu you'll find 2 entries for My New Program, one for the 32-bit and the other for 64-bit. But I think it's up to the developer how they appear. He might label them as My New Program for the 32-bit and My New Program (64-bit) for the 64-bit, but he can label them however he sees fit.
