I'm running Win.7 64bit. On the Maximus VI Hero Mobo DVD, I've looked at the FILESLIST.txt & there seem to be 32 & 64 bit versions of many of the drivers & programs. But when I went to install Adobe X, the Install-Wizard wants to put it in Program Files (x86), which is the 32bit program folder. Is that normal ? Or is there a way to install the 64bit version (if there is one) ? I've noticed my USB3.0 files (& AISuite3 & many others) are also wanting to be put in the 32bit folder.
Looking through the DVD files, it seems there are lots of 64bit files, as well as 32 bit files for the same Drivers/Programs. Do I need to do more than just Double Clicking the exe, or opening the AsSetUp & going from there ?
I just installed WinZip from the DVD & it went into the 64bit Program Folder !?!?
Sorry for the long description. I had a hard time wording my question.
Thanks heaps for any & all answers.

Might want to just go to the Asus web site, select your OS and get the latest drivers, might have some on the CD that are out of date anyway...Same with utility programs and things like Adobe, head to their site for latest, greatest

A lot of programs are only 32 bit, including Adobe X. There are some that benefit from 64bit such as winzip. If it doesn't give you an option, don't worry about it, if it does select the 64 bit version.

Hi again,
Another easy one (hopefully). If I want to get rid of the AI Suite 3 Overclock & go back to stock (3.5GHz), do I just enter BIOS & press F5 for Optimized Defaults ?
I hope so, because resetting the CMOS is not appealing.
Thanks again, & Thanks again (just in case I missed a Thanks) for all the answers.
