I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here, but I can tell you that any file or program that has "x86" in it is NOT intended for a 64-bit CPU/system. When something IS intended for 64-bit hardware, the file name will instead contain "x64".
It MAY be possible to install 64-bit Vista on an x86 (or 32-bit) machine, but not only would you NOT get whatever performance advantages 64-bit has over 32-bit, you would almost certainly have PROBLEMS as a result.
In the program files folder in your hard drive.. 32bit programs will go into a folder called Program Files(x86)
/Programs Files (x86) Folder
I think it has something to do with the architecture being x64 and not x86, not really positive though. Having the same problem on Windows 7 64bit, but it works fine on Windows 7 32bit.
HP officially supports Windows HP Home, Windows Vista Home Basic x86, and Windows Vista Business in x86 and x64. The machine is also capable of running Windows 7 if it is equipped with enough RAM.
Program Files (for win xp x86 and vista x86) Program Files(x86) (for win xp x64 and vista x64 for 32 bits applications) Program Files(x64) (for win xp x64 and vista x64 for 64 bits applications)
It's supposed to be in\Program Files. But because it's up to programmers to choose the folder usually even x64 programs put themselves in\Program Files (x86).
Most recent PC video games will have their Minimum System Requirements displayed on the packaging it came in. Refer to this chart to see how much RAM is recommended for your games. If you can not find the Minimum System Requirements, I would recommend two 2GB sticks of RAM, for 4GB total. The price for a "Dual Channel Kit" with 4GB of RAM total is relatively low compared to 8GB Dual Channel Kits and not much more expensive than 2GB Dual Channel Kits.
No you can't because 64-bit won't run on an x86 (32-bit) PC. You have to have the x86 version.
If you are running Windows Vista. Goto Start Menu Click with the right hand mouse button on Computer and left click on Properties. It will tell you Under System. Another way is to look at the C drive. If you see a Folder called Program Files (x86) then you are using a 64Bit OS.
Vista x86 supports 3.8GB. It means that 4 GB it's maximum you can install. If you compare 2GB installed with 4GB, 4GB configuration will provide a better working experience.
C:\Program Files (x86)\ is the default folder for 32-bit applications on 64-bit Windows.
