Astoundingly, the browsers find and load the appropriate JVM
automagically.  Chrome needs a little help, but basically it is
automatic.

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/googlechrome.html

You can verify this by running http://mindprod.com/applet/wassup.html
Try out  IE 64 bit, and Firefox 32 bit or any of the other browsers at
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/browser.html

look for os.arch = amd64 vs x86 for 64 bit vs 32 bit or references to
Program Files vs Program Files (x86).

This applies to windows.
