64-bit

For use on 64-bit versions of Windows.

For an optimal user experience it is highly recommended to also install one of the 32-bit variants from above, because most software that runs on 64-bit versions of Windows is still 32-bit.

For example, Vista x64 uses a 32-bit version of Windows Media Player by default.
