Short answer: the 32-bit version will run under either 64-bit or 32-bit
windows, so you can't go wrong with 32.
If you want to find out whether you're running 64-bit or 32-bit
Windows, you can do Start ==> Settings ==> System ==> About.
Alternatively, at the Windows command prompt, enter SET PROCESSOR. The
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER setting (among others) will tell you if it's 64-
or 32-bit.
I run the 32-bit version of Locate on my 64-bit system, and there's no
discernible performance penalty. It's fast.
