As topic says. The reason for this, ALSO for windows 7 64bit users!
Is that a lot of the reasons and features that makes IE9 as fast as firefox, safari, chrome or at least close to is due to things that still HAVE NO 64BIT versions! which means IE9 64bit is using old files.

Flick through this and you will see what that means.

Specifically, the 64-bit version of IE9 doesn't have the just-in-time Javascript compiler that improves performance on script-heavy sites (like benchmarks). See here for more info:

Edit: still, I wouldn't go so far as to say "do NOT use 64-bit IE9". It's still a fast browser, and if the performance is adequate (eg. you don't visit script-heavy sites), then why not use it? I'd suggest people try both and make up their mind themselves.

IE9 64bit is NOT a fast browser.. no matter how much love you want to give it... it's crap! that's just the reality. the 32bit is just fine. But compared to everything else out there.. the 64bit is just not good enough to even borther.

Wow, I just ran the benchmarks found here:
Browser Benchmark Center
64 bit is surprisingly low performer.

Chrome is kicking every other benchmark in the butt.
Im surprised that peoples still advice FireFox. Its slow, its a resource hog, it feels "laggy" and too much mechanical.
and im talking as an ex firefox user. I used to use FF since its very first version, but i was pissed in the time about how slow and crawling it began to act.
Then i switched to Chrome. Turns out that all my plugins are in chrome as well, as more and more developers are turning to it, and its fast, stable, reliable, its features are awesome once you get used to it.
and for sure, ILL NEVER GO BACK!
Ie9 still interesting tho, but i see that its really similar to chrome than firefox.

Well duh... There is not, and never has been, any reason to use a 64-bit browser. Why would anybody even consider it? Most plugins are only available in 32bit anyway.

I downloaded the 32-bit version of IE9 for my 64-bit W7 laptop but Windows 7 will not let me install the 32-bit version on my 64-bit system. It gives the message "This version of setup does not support your Windows system type" when I try to install it and will not allow the install to proceed. Is there any way around this in order to make W7 64-bit allow the installation of IE9 32-bit?

The 64-bit file that you download means that it is for Windows 7 64-bit. It includes both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of IE9.
After you install the package, on your Start Menu there will be at least the items:
Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer (64-bit)
The non-labeled one will be 32-bit.

32 bit - according to the Ars Technica review I read this morning, it is apparently not possible to set the 64 bit version as your default browser.
