Hello,
I am currently on Windows Vista and I would like to switch to Windows SEVEN. The problem is that I don't know which version to choose between x64 and x86.

When I use EVEREST to check the type of processor, I get this: System type PC with x86 ACPI processor

Should I use Windows Seven x86? If I use x64, will there be a change? Please explain to me, thank you.
Configuration: Windows Vista Firefox 3.5.3

A little + :
As we all know, computing is twisted =()...

x86 = 32 bits
x64 = 64 bits

No, computers are not twisted, it's just that you're not looking at the past, nor the complete terms: x86 is the family....
- 8086 => 16 bits
- 80186 => 16 bits
- 80286 => 16 bits
- 80386 => 32 bits
- 80486 => 32 bits
- 80586 (Pentium) => 32 bits
- 80686 (Pentium 2) => 32 bits
- P3, P4, Intel Core, Intel Core 2, i3, i5, i7 ....

So x86 is the family that has evolved, we could say it stops at 32 bits... the x86-64 part being just the extension of this same family with the 64 bits instructions...

If you want Intel with only 64 bits, you've got IA64
