[QUOTE="JakeXPMan, post: 405687, member: 29270"] I recently got a new 64 bit Windows 7 PC. Since I have had 32bit PC's before, I was wondering should I install all 64 bit software if its available? I'm a little confused on what is the better choices... so far, I have; [B]IE 11 x64 Firefox x86 CCleaner x64 MBAM x86[/B] As I found out, the main download link is not always (x64) on the download webpages. Can I install the x64 versions of Malwarebytes and Firefox over the 32 bit (x86) versions I have already ? Or will it cause an error... should I keep Firefox and MBAM as is? I also would like to know what are the benefits and downfalls of the 32 and 64 bit versions. Does adobe run 64bit flash player more efficiently then the 32 bits? It seems IE 11 x64 runs youtube much smoother then x86 Firefox, or is that the browser itself? ... Any light on this subject will be great, and not too familar yet with the bit versions, so far I learned 64 bit can handle a lot more RAM. [/QUOTE]
