Should I install Java 32 bit or 64 bit?
Which versions of java you should install on 32-bit/64-bit machines? Strictly speaking, on a 32-bit CPU architecture machine, you should install 32-bit java/JRE. On the other hand, on a 64-bit CPU architecture machine, you are free to choose between 32-bit java/JRE and 64-bit java/JRE. Both will work just fine.
