    got my studio15 with core i5 and 4gb Ram yesterday

    All applications are installed in program files(x86) and i have another folder called program files.

    why 2 program files folders ?

    Now wat programs should i install x86 or x64 ? :( :(

    every program that is 64bit compatible will instal in the program files folder.

    32bit applications will instal in the x86 folder.

    If you know a program is 64bit capable, just download and instal its 64bit version. Some will auto instal as such. In the end it will not change a lot for you anyway.
