| | When you install new software, Windows 7 puts it automatically on Program Files folder if the software you are installing is 64-bit version. All 32-bit programs are installed to Program Files (x86) folder. Kari |

| | Thanks Guys, I am not sure I can really see the advantage of 64 bit at the moment, perhaps there is some slight speed increase, but not enough for me to notice. |

| | Performance can be enhanced sometimes but 64-bit was really designed to allow for more addressing space. That is, more memory (RAM) can be installed and utilized by the system. In many cases where not a lot of RAM is needed, 32-bit Windows can still outperform 64-bit. |
