Windows 7 Java 64 Bit Download

Something that still causes a lot of trouble on many Windows 7 x64 machines is Java. Java is needed for all those cool web 2.0 applications and for games like Minecraft, but it’s also a resource hog and is often causing a very high CPU load, therefore many people deactive it completely. Nonetheless, it’s an important download.

    do i still need the presently installed java 32-bit on my pc after I hav installed JDK 64-bit?

    To Jade !!
    Yes, you will need both 32 and 64 bit Java for a 64 bit installation of Windows. Only IE8 has a 64 bit browser at the moment (although, Firefox does have a Unsupported 64 bit version in progress) so, if you use Firefox or Chrome or Opera… it is recommended to install both versions of Java. I do. The current versions are : Version 6 update 22.
