Can both 32 and 64 bit versions of PT 7 be installed on the same PC at the same time? If so can one baseline file be uploaded, one from 32 bit and one from the 64 bit version so people can compare 32 and 64 bit performance on the same hardware or will one be deleted. Other thoughts, It would be nice if the 64 bit version could be setup to run both 32 and 64 bit tests and then display the differences.

If you have 64bit Windows you can install both the 32bit and 64bit releases (they need to be in separate install folders, but this should happen automatically on 64bit windows).
But using the 32bit release on 64bit windows is not recomended. Becuase
1) It won't be using 64bit instrutions. And the CPU benchmarks results will be lower. But on the other hand this might be interesting for some people.
2) There is a device driver used to collect some system information. And 32bit Windows device drivers are not compatible with 64bit. So some system information will not be collected
