Need Help with Vista Ultimate 64bit.

[krazyq]

Hey guys...i was running xp pro and then i formatted my hdd, except my partition and installed vista 64 bit on it.

Now when i goto c:drive...i see two program files folders.

1-Program files
2-program files x86

so whenever i install anything...it installs on the x86 one....
is that correct?
am i doing anything wrong here?

I just need to know if its normal for like every application or game in install to to in the program files x86 folder.

dunno ; ; my vista ultimate is 32-bit. I've no experience with 64bit os's at all. untill i get new rig built in another month or so anyhow. then i'll be able to tell you lol.

What i mean to say is if they install to the x86 folder for you then that would be normal. Honestly does it make that much of a difference if it works?

i thought it was supposed to be like that so the x64 could emulate the 32bit...don't quote me on that though
