Should I Install 64-bit or 32-bit Version? (x64 vs x86)
Thursday, June 15th, 2006
Deciding which Vista version to install can be a difficult decision and can really limit what you can 
do with your system. Here are practical hints which should help a user decide which version to install. I decided to write this guide after installing 64-bit and 32-bit vista systems on several test boxes.
With the gaining popularity of 64-bit chipsets/processors, many users now have the ability to run either 64-bit versions (x64) or 32-bit versions (x86) of software and operating systems. However, if you only have a 32-bit processor, your choice is easy…
You can only install the x64 version of Vista if you have a 64-bit processor.
For those with 64-bit processors, it seems obvious that installing the x64 version of vista would be ideal. The x64 version has increased security based around the 64-bit structure and programs compiled for 64-bit processors will likely run faster.
