PGN is a file format; specifically one for games like chess.

A PGN file is simply a normal .txt file. There's no extra programs you need to access a PGN file, since .txt files are natively supported in most operating systems, like Windows and Linux.

TWIC is a website, not a program.

TWIC hosts the weekly games databases, and you can download the database for each week of the year in the form of a PGN file.

Chessbase also uses PGN files for its databases.

Lucas chess does the same.

What are you trying to ask/look for?

Unfortunately, you're limited by your 32-bit system.

There's nothing best, there's options. Hardware is always a limiting factor to any software.

Lichess is great online. In the meantime, use it as you see it here online.
