Which should I use - 32bit or 64bit version of Tomcat?

[Neil Gaede]

There are both 32- and 64-bit "binary distributions" available from the ASF, but the only parts that are Windows native binaries (and thus built for 32- or 64-bit) are the service application that allows for installing Tomcat as a Windows service and the GUI monitoring/configuration application. The Tomcat server process itself is Java as Scott mentioned and will use the JDK you have installed. That said, you should probably use whatever matches your OS.
