Troy,
AFAIK, the only difference between both versions is about JNI which allows
to use non-Java libraries from a Java application. If you install the i586
version, you can use 32-bit libraries, if you install x86_64 version, you
can use 64-bit libraries. I am not convinced you can install both in fact
(how Java will choose the one to use)... but I may be wrong.
Cheers,
Michel
