    Hey guys, I'm about to upgrade to Windows 7 RTM 64 bit next week, and I started running around the net looking for 64 bit versions of programs. It seems there is only an installable of HWMonitor 32 bit, and the 64 bit is no-install only. Is there somewhere else I can find an installable 64 bit version or should I just go with the not installable one?

    Does it actually install or is a standalone application?

    I like to keep my system organized and easy to add and remove programs and standalone apps makes that kinda difficult.

    Stand-alone app but works fine on 64 bit. Place it in a folder and make a shortcut to it. (have mine on my Object Dock). Don't want it anymore then delete the folder.

    Stand-alone apps can be better actually since they don't lodge themselves into the OS which makes you go through numerous procedures to remove them.

    You can keep the thing well organized as it is ... you can always create a shortcut in the start menu since it's used for shortcuts to programs as it is.
    HWMonitor 64bit works fine here ... but I prefer to use RealTemp for the cpu since it gives me accurate reading on my P7350.
