64


32 will give you access to only 4 GB ram at most and 2 per app.

64 have no drawbacks exept price AFAIK

Your computer is 64 bit

New programs are 64 bit

If you have more than about 3.5GB of ram you must use 64 bit in order to address the ram

64 bit Windows runs 32 bit programs


There is no reason to run 32 bit bit Windows.
