It's right there, either 32 or 64 bit flavors.

JVM = Java Virtual Machine. This is the engine that actual runs the compiled Java application. It is individually compiled for each OS/hardware as it is compiled to machine language. Java applications are compiled into intermediate language that is processed by the virtual machine. Same thing as MS' .NET and many other forerunners.

JRE = Java Runtime Engine. This is essentially the packaging from Sun (or Oracle or Sun or Oracle... joy) that contains the JVM. It is intended for consumer use.

JDK = Java Development Kit. This is the full monte, the JRE, source, tools, etc. for developing applications in Java.

I went to Java website to get it, but I can't seem to find JVM for Windows 7, all I can find if just 'Java'. Do I need VT enabled in the CPU (Core2Duo E8400) in BIOS?

ANY help is appreciated, just point me in the right direction, I am great with PC's, just not with this type of stuff.
