Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit? (Main idea: Performance & Stability)

Hello guys

Currently I have installed Windows 7 32 bit. I'm thinking of changing to the 64 bit version as in 32 bit, Windows only use 2.72GB RAM although I have 4GB RAM on my MacBook Pro 13(you have 4GB RAM, but your computer only use 2.72GB. What a waste)

I use Windows for games, sometimes for office works (when it comes working with my friends which mostly of them using Windows)

Currently, I have no problem using the 32 bit.No lags.Fast boot
I'm wondering, if I use the 64 bit, booting is faster?Less lags?
(one of my friend use Vista Home Premium 64 bit said that boot using the 64 bit is quite longer than the 32 bit, but the performance is much better then 32 bit)

I have read some articles regarding gaming on Windows 7 64 bit. Problems, crashing and sometimes BSOD!
Quite scary on hearing that...

So, anybody can give me a piece of advice?

MacBook Pro 13, Mac OS X (10.6.2), Windows 7 32 bit
