    I'd like to use the system monitor program HWIFO. But should I use HWINFO, HWINFO32 or HWINFO64 ?

    I think I am running 64 bit Windows 7 but I have the choice of running IE9 32 bit (default) or IE9 64 bit; I usually select the default (unless it has 'stopped'...)

    There aren't really any advantages to using the 64 bit version over the 32 bit version unless it uses over 4gb of memory and you have over 4gb, which a doubt a small monitoring program does or even IE9 without a huge number of pages open. There can also be small program performance advantages I've heard numbers around the 5-10% mark but have never noticed or measured them.

    I use the 64 bit version if it's available because I've paid for a 64bit system.:yum
