Where do i install files?
I have been in the process of getting my computer ready to accept BF3 as it's new god. First I upgraded to Win7 64 bit and of course had some issues with my 74gb raptor not being big enough. Now with a bigger hard drive and after somewhat familiarizing myself with this new OS, I bought BF3. I have installed a lot of my older programs into the program files(x86) location. My question is: Do I install BF3 into the program files folder? Isn't that where newer 64 bit programs are supposed to go? I hate to sound like a newb, but this OS has me a little confused.

64-bit OSes are becoming the norm, and that's a good thing because over time more development will take place in a 64-bit environment (64-bit extensions etc). Currently the big bonus to 64-bit OSes is the ability to install and address larger and larger amounts of RAM (32-bit Windows OSes generally maxed at effective utilization of about 3.5 Gb RAM), without getting into PAE scenarios.
Whereas 64-bit OSes can address far more than that (Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit can address 192Gb of RAM).Last edited by Alundil; 11-03-11 at 05:44 PM.
