| | Program Files and Program Files (x86) on another drive Hi. I am about to install Windows 7 (64bit) on my new 60GB SSD drive. I will keep a separate 1TB drive for all music, etc. and I intend to install most applications on the 1TB drive as well. However, since 64-bit windows by default has both a "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" folder for 32-bit apps I wonder if I could get in trouble by not installing 32-bit apps in the x86 folder? |

| | It does not make any difference. I have all software that lets me, installed on my D: drive, both 32 and 64 bit and they all work fine. I boot from C:. It's been working fine for a year and a half now. |
