What is Java 64-bit needed for?

Answer: For a 64-bit browser.
Yes, you can run Java 32-bit on your x64 Windows 7 system, but if you download and install Java 64-bit, you can also run any 64-bit browser. Firefox for example offers a 64-bit browser for Windows 7 x64. By default, Windows 7 includes a x32 and x64 edition of the Internet Explorer 8.
