Leave them, though you will use Program Files(x86) more often, and thats where 99% of the programs are installed.

Program files = 64 bit stuff
Program files (x86) = 32 bit stuff

x86 in computer terms means 32-bit

64-bit kinda sucks also because there are very few programs written for it. Ones I can think of off the top of my head: Tortoise SVN, iTunes, and WinRAR.

It still runs everything faster though.

True. Can run more RAM at one time.

True. Can run more RAM at one time.

And its still compatible with anything that x86 can use.
