Do i have to install jdk win64?

Question

I have installed windows 7 x64, therefore i have a confusion whether i have to install JDK x64 or JDK x86? please help me, thank you

Answer 1

For the most part 32 bit apps will run fine on 64 bit windows (32 bit drivers are another story).

It is possible that the 32-bit version of Java will run slower than the 64 bit version (possible does not mean it will, just that it could). It is also possible that the 64-bit version will use more memory than the 32 bit version.

Personally I use 64-bit version of things when available.
