32-bit or 64 bit?

[Oliversisu]

Okay so i have 64-bit system but my program folder is named x86 and thats 32-bit ? i also have a normal "program folder" but when i install fx. Battlefield 4 it's going to be placed in the x86 folder even tho i have 64-bit? so when im playing battlefield it says im playing on 32-bit? please help.

It doesn't matter, it will have no effect on your gameplay. It's normal, it also happens on both my desktop and notebook.

You will have a "Programs Files x86" folder on a 64-bit Windows system. As not all programs are 64-bit, the 32-bit ones are installed here. Battlefield can run on both x86 and x64 systems. This is why it's installed to the x86 folder.

The standard "bf4.exe" is 64-bit

"bf4_x86.exe" is 32-bit

If the game lauches bf4.exe then you re running it in 64-bit.

On a 64 bit system there will be two (2) "Program Folder":
- "Program Files X86" : for all 32 bit applications & games
- "Program Files" : for any 64 bit applications & games you may have

I the case of Battlefield you can play either version (executable file...) but the According to the official specs, 8GB of RAM is required for 64-Bit version....

I wonder if that is the cause of my longer than normal load times with respect to my system specs and load times I experience in all other games. I am running a 6GB tri-channel config. Maybe I am hitting the pagefile on this game because of that.
