| Re: OFFICIALLY TESTED "x64" security software.. I can tell you this, Live OneCare 2.0 is a 32bit program, that runs on 64bit Vista. It works for me, and I personally don't see a need to get anything else. |

A 64 bit system runs identically to a 32bit system in many ways, that's why many 32bit programs run just fine on a 64bit system. The way some programs access/register/process/stream..etc, data is the only difference for a 64bit program, so things like CODECS need to be bit specific in that manner. Other than that, the only real difference for 64bit is the amount of data it can address in a single clock, since it has double the data width capacity (which is exponential of course) | |||||||||||||||

If you find it in Program Files(x86) then it is running in 32 bit mode, but if you find it in C:\Program files it is a 64 bit mode. Mine runs in 64 bit for couple of months Regards acdcfan | |||||||||||||||

If you find your AV got installed to /ProgramFiles(x86)/ its oviously a 32bit Antivirus but if its installed to the regular /ProgramFiles/ its a 64bit AV. This is different if your using Vista 32bit.

Your very close njnitehawk, The folder changes depending if your using 32bit or 64bit... On Vista 32bit there is only one /ProgramFiles/ Folder for all the 32bit software but on Vista 64bit it comes with two folders...One called /ProgramFiles(x86)/ for all the 32bit programs and the other /ProgramFiles/ for 64bit programs... I hope I explained this well enough for you  dmex | |||||||||||||||
